mi SPORTING SCENE Waccamaw Conference Strong In Grid Openers BY JOHNNY CRAIG The Waccamaw 2-A Conierence looked impressive going 4-1-1 in the opening week of the high school foot ball season last Friday. Only P'air- mont and South Robeson were idle last week but open Friday against a pair of nonconference opponents. Included in the four league wins was West Brunswick’s 55-26 rout of 1-A Orrum. The 55-point perfor mance by the Trojans was the second-highest in North Carolina last week as only Garner’s 61-0 over Durham was liigher. West Brusnwick will have an open date Friday to reload its potent Dick Sheridan-style offense (patterned after the N.C. State Wolfpack) before returning to action September 11 hosting Topsail. Another impressive league triumph also involved a county team. North Brunswick blanked Topsail 21-0 for the school’s first shutout in 18 games. The Scorpions will seek their se cond consecutive win for the first time in recent years Friday traveling to Hallsboro. Perhaps the conference’s most im pressive win was Whiteville’s 15-13 edging of 4-a Scotland County. The Fighting Scots was Whiteville’s toughest opening oppo nent in years and the Wolfpack rose to the occasion. Whiteville has an open date Friday before returning to face 1-A foes Hallsboro and Tabor Ci ty prior to beginning conference play. East Bladen also recorded a shutout, a 13-0 blanking of 1-A power Clarkton. The Cougars used the win to serve notice to all Waccamaw Con ference teams that they are indeed improved as had been rumored. If the Cougars can get by Clinton Friday, a win over Bladenboro the following week would put East Bladen unbeaten entering its league opener against West Brunswick. South Brunswick suffered its second-straight opening loss to Pender in a 17-13 defeat to the Patriots. Althouth South Brunswick fell to Scorpi •ions Shut Out Topsail In Opener 21-0 Quarterback Anthony Mosley ran for one touchdown and threw for another while running back Laverene Holiday ran for 130 yards to lead North Brunswick past Topsail 21-0 Friday in the football opener for both teams. The win snapped a sbe-game losing streak for the host Scorpions dating back to last season. The shutout for North Brunswick was also its first in 18 games. Mosley (5-9, soph.) scored the first Scorpion touchdown on a two-yard run and later completed a 20-yard scoring strike to receiver James Grady. Holiday scored the final North Brunswick touchdown on a 20-yard dash. Both teams continue non conference play Friday as North Brunswick travels to Hallsboro and Topsail visits North Duplin. Both games begin at 8 p.m. Brierwood Women Point Event Ploy 24 19 Twenty-four women played in the Brierwood I.adies Golf Association's Aug. 25 “Bingle-Bangle-Bongle.” In this point event, bingle represents the first on a green, one point; bangle, the one closest to the hole, one point; and Bongle, the first in the cup, one point.

South Brunswick followers are in hopes of another win streak for the '87 season. West Columbus battled to a 12-12 tie with Acme-Delco in the only other game involving a Waccamaw member.
