BY JOHNNY CRAIG It would take a long check of the record books to find when the last time or if the West Brunswick Trojans have lost three straight basketball games. Regardless, the Trojans continued their after-Christmas skid last week falling to North Brunswick, 71-60 for the second time this season while dropping a 64-59 decision to Whftovllle Thp two losses along with last week's defeat to South Brunswick, gives West Brunswick a 0-3 January record. Ironically enough, all three Trojan losses have come against East Waecamaw 2-A Conference teams.

How we do in our first conference game (against preseason favorite East Bladen) will play a major role in our chances of a league championship," continued Champion. "It seems like the more games In a row a team looses the less those losses hurt. We will have to get back on the winning track In order to challenge for tile league title." l/mbon (24 points) and Southern (16 points) were the only Woitpack players in double figures.
