Brunswick twice earlier this
season?the first a four-point decision
in mid-December and most
recently, just a week ago, with an
11-point win in the finals of the West
Brunswick Christmas Invitational
Tournament.
But Friday the Cougars prevented
a three-game .sweep and pulled the
surprise for their first win over West
Brunswick in nearly 10 years and
first ever on the Trojan home court.
The win for the Cougars already
equals the total number of games

Brunswick's four-game win streak.
"We missed a number of easy shots
underneath and had some terrible
guard play," said a disappointed
West Brunswick coach Ronnie Champion.
"Most of our 19 turnovers came
in the fourth quarter but we still had
plenty of chances to win. It was just
one of 'those' games."
The Trojans jumped out to a fivepoint,
11-6 lead at the end of the first
quarter but South Brunswick managed
to stay within three, 21-18 at the
half. West Brunswick maintained a
three-point advantage at the end of
the third quarter, 37-34 before the
Cougars evened the contest at 47-47
at the end of regulation.
West Brunswick took a 50-47 lead in
overtime on three free throws by
Rusty Johnson. The Trojans appeared
