Brunswick C ounty last season, hut (here were 42 acci dents in die state, including six fatalities. Officials with the N.C. W,KII,lc Resources Commission hope a mandatory hunter education law anil an expanded requirement lor bla/.c orange garments help reduce the number of accidents this season ITiis year, all first-time hunting license buyers arc required to complete a hunter education course admin istered by the wildlife commission. The 10 hour class is designed to make hunters more cautious and teach them wildlife laws. The next class in Brunswick County is scheduled Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 16 and 17, at the Cooperative Extension Service office in Bolivia. Since 1971, nearly half a million students have been trained in the slate's voluntary hunter education pro grain. From I960 to 1970, hunting fatalities averaged 13 per year. The number dropped to an average of eight per year from 19X0 to 1990. In two-thirds of the accidents last season, the stunn er hadn't taken a hunter education course, according to a Wildlife Resources Commission re|X>rt. The N.C. General Assembly passed a law in 19X7 requiring hunters of deer, bear and wild boar to wear blaze orange. Since then, wildlife officers have reported a marked drop in the number of accidents in which the victim was mistaken lor game. There were eight such accidents last season, ami none of |hem were latal. State legislators expanded the hunting law this year to require blaze orange garments for small game hunters. In live of the six fatal hunting accidents last season, the victim was not wearing any orange. Victims weren't wearing orange in 43 percent of the non-fatal accidents. Although Brunswick County had no accidents re ported last season, other counties in southeastern North Carolina weren't so fortunate. Bladen County led the state in the number ol acci dents with six. Wildlife officers reported two accidents last year in Columbus County, including one fatality. a Ol the 42 hunting accidents reported last year, 1 1 < them were sclf-inflicted anil two resulted in fatalitic according to the Wildlife Resources Commission re |H>rt.

Most of the sh?x>iors and victims were between the ages ol 20 and M). In most cases, the shooter and victim were in the same hunting party. IX'er was the speck's being hunted when most of the accidents occurred. The state issued 3K6.915 hunting li censes during the I99<> '> I season. SPORTING SCFNF Key Week In Waccamaw Conference Football Race BY JOHNNY CRAM; The Waccamaw 2-A Confcrcncc football race ncars the midway point Friday with a number of key games Tor teams on the "bubble" for postsea son playoff berths. Perhaps the niggest game will be at Boiling Spring Lakes where South Brunswick entertains West Columbus. Both teams sport identical 1-1 league records and 2-3 overall marks. Neither team can afford another conference loss as both have yet to play West Brunswick and Whitcville, two of the top three teams in the league. West Brunswick and South Robeson meet in Shallotte on Friday in an other key contest. The tables arc nearly turned from a year ago when South Robeson was on its way to the WC championship and the Trojans failed to qualify for the state playoffs for the first time in three years. West Brunswick upset the Mustangs 19-14 to hand South Robeson its only confcrcncc loss of the season. South Robeson (1-1 in the league) will be out to return the favor to the Trojans this time around. East Bladen and Whitcvillc will likely have an easy time with league foes North Brunswick and Fairmont respectively on Friday. East Bladen shares the league lead with the Trojans while Whitcville is a likely candidate for the conference's third and final state playoff bid. North Brunswick and Fairmont, both with 0-2 league records, are vir tually out of the racc and will likely drop farther behind after Friday's matchups. Defensive Scoring Gem The West Brunswick defense was back in the headlines this week fol lowing last Friday's 37-0 Trojan shutout of Fairmont. The Trojan defense scored 17 points in the win which would be con sidered quite a good offensive performance for many prep teams across the state. Lonnic Mitchell scorcd on a 45-yard fumble recovery, Shawn Stevenson added another touchdown on a blocked Fairmont punt and Steve Holmes and William Stanley provided a pair of first-half safeties to lead the Trojan defense. Tro/ans Looking For 12th Man The West Brunswick football team (2-0, 5-0) has made it to midscason without a loss and will play three of its final five games at the new R.M. Rouark Stadium. "It is important for our fans to be our 12th man on the field," said West Brunswick coach Marshall Seay said earlier this week of the Troians' crowd support. "This team can go a long way and has lots of potential but it means so much to the kids when the stadium is packed and the fans are chccring." During their back-to-back league road games to open the conference season, Seay indicated that the Trojans were not in a situation where the op posing fans were loud and rowdy. "How well this team can play when they get cxcited by the fan support is anyone's guess," added Seay. "Great fan support can really make the kids reach down and get something our coaching staff didn't even know they had."
