  • Gaines, North Brunswick grind out 27-8 victory

    LELAND—The North Brunswick High School Scorpions beat Lejeune 27-8 Friday in a nonconference football game.

    Before this game started, Anthony “Move The Chains” Gaines was averaging more than 10 yards every time he touched the ball, so it’s no wonder coach Garry Bishop calls on him often. Against Lejeune, Gaines touched the ball 32 times for a total of 192 yards, which included two touchdown runs and a two-point conversion.

    However, it was not only Gaines who shined against Lejeune. D. J. Graham also had two touchdown runs and 87 yards total.

  • Laney strikes back, beats West

    Call it the five-minute rule.

    “It’s a standard rule in the soccer business,” West Brunswick High School soccer coach Tripp Smith said, “that five minutes after a goal is scored, you should be on your game, because the chances are another one is going to get scored in those five minutes—whether it’s you or whether it’s the other team.”

    West failed to do that, and the result was a 4-2 loss to the Laney Buccaneers in the conference game Sept 18.
