Brian Conness, Alex Humbert and Derek Leavitt won their singles matches to make it 3-3 going into doubles.

“Brian Conness’ win was huge, because to have a chance, either he or Caleb Hawkins was going to have to win a match, and Caleb lost a tight one 6-4, 6-3,” Bell said.

PENDER 9

South Brunswick slipped by Pender 10-9 on March 25.

“We did some bone head-stuff in the field,” South coach Lee Shelton said. “But a win is a win.

“Ryan Brendle had a big hit in the bottom of the sixth. We had runners on first and third. He hit a line drive that I thought it was going to short-hop the fence, but it went out of the park. It was one of the hardest hit balls I’ve seen hit by a high school player.”

Sheriff Hewett suspended, hearing to permanently remove him slated for Monday

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

For nearly 10 months we have wondered about the nature of the federal investigation surrounding Brunswick County Sheriff Ronald Hewett.

Little information has been made public about its nature but rumors and speculation have been rampant.
