With only two weeks remaining in
tne regular season, both 3-A Three
Rivers and 2-A East Waccamaw Conferences
are entering trie baskeibaii
homestretch with district playoff
berths at stake.
Both conferences are Just now
beginning to unveil frontrunners as
nearly all teams have made one complete
sweep through their respective
league schedules. In the East Waccamaw,
Whiteville has emerged as
the team to beat while in the Three
Rivers, West Brunswick is slowly risifig
tu the top.
Whiteville's win over North
Bruaswick last week was certainly
an important decision for the
(Mending-champion Wolfpack, now
3-0 in the league. It will now be very
difficult for the Scorpioas to make
any run at the league title since the
two teams meet again at Wniieviiie.
""he lady Wolfpack is also sitting
estop (along with Hsilsboro) thp
league standings but to no surprise.
The only surprise is Hallsboro's 3-0
mark but look for Whiteville to win
the league hands down.
In the Three Rivers Conference,
the title race is not as clear cut. West
Bruaswick Ls out front with a 2-1
murk with East Bladen, Pender and
West Columbus right behind.
Pender's upset win over East Bladen
on Friday certainly did wonders for
the Trojans' title hopes.
Meanwhile in the girls' league,
West Columbus is sitting on top with
a 3-0 mark but West Brunswick is
right behind at 2-1. The lady Vikings

Clinton will be the site for the s.A

participants from the Three Rivers
Conference. As usual, the top teams
from the Three Rivers will face the

Clinton hardly seems a neutral site
when the locations of schools in the

to Raleigh should certainly suit the
Triangle Conference to a tee. Clinton
appears to be about as much of a
