SPORTING SCENE West, South To Contend For Waccamaw Golf Crown It Ux)ks like West Brunswick and South Brunswick will he contending for the Waccamaw 2-A Confcrcncc golf championship this spring. The arch rivals entered this week' the season-long conference standings. South was leading West by 30 strokes after three events, mainly due to great play two weeks ago on the rain -soaked Fox Squirrel Country Club. Whitcvillc and East Bladen were holding on in the third and fourth slots, while North Brunswick's Scorpions were in fifth place. Going into this week's play, West and South also boasted eight of the top conference. Brandon Vannoy of South and Jeremy Grainger of West were tied lor the league lead with averages of 80.7 strokes per round. From all indications, the two county schix>ls should still be battling lor the title alter the six regular-season conference tournaments are completed. West Brunswick will host the league championship tournament April 27 at The Gauntlet at St. James Plantation near Southjx>rt. By the way, I played The Gauntlet for the first time a few weeks ago and was very impressed with the layout. Coming from Pennsylvania. 1 like courses with lulls and rolling terrain like you encounter at The Gauntlet. Most of the outstanding golf courses in this area are extremely Hat. which is understandable on the coast. The Gauntlet also has huge greens, which is gtxxl for people like me who rarely scare the pin on approach shots. For a brand new course. The Gauntlet is in very gixxl shape and should prove to be an excellent site for the conference championship. It's Been A While 1 ast week I went to my first high school track meet in at least 10 years. 1 think my older brother was competing the last time I watched a track meet. Anyway, South Brunswick hosted West Brunswick and Worthington Christian Academy of Ohio, which was visiting on spring break. The meet was a great one. w ith the South Brunswick boys pulling out a victory over the Ohio team on the last race. I was impressed with the organization of the meet, which is no easy task with more than a dozen events for both the boys and girls. 1 also enjoyed watching the athletes perform. I think the nice thing about track is Uiai there's never a dull moment. Wherever you look, there's something happening. There's usually two or three events going on at the same time. High school sports fans should try to get to a track meet sometime this spring. I know the kids would appreciate the support, and you'll probably be surprised how much fun it can be. By the way, the 50-plus kids, coaches and chaperones from Worthington Christian Academy stayed at Sunset Beach last week. They rented eight cottages and stayed six days at the beach during their spring break. Their meet at South Brunswick was their only formal competi tion, but they worked out each day. According to one of the chaperones, it's sull too cold for outdoor track in Ohio. This was the second year Worthington Christian has come south for spring break. They seemed to enjoy the hospitality last week in Boiling Spring Lakes, and who knows, they might come back next year. s match in first and second place in 12 individual scoring averages in the NEWS FROM THE LANES Joyner Leads Woodmen League Rick Joyner rolled a 234 game, 597 scratch series and 6X1 handicap series to lead the men's categories in the Woodmen of the World League last Friday at Brunswick Bowling ("enter in Shallotie.
