  • Mia Adcock’s three goals spur...

     SHALLOTTE – Mia Adcock was anything but “MIA” during West Brunswick’s 4-0 victory over Topsail on April 10 at M.H. Rourk Stadium in Shallotte.

    The senior midfielder broke a scoreless tie with 2:51 left in the first half before adding a pair of second-half goals in the Trojans’ first Mideastern Conference victory of the 2018 season.

    Mia Adcock is a natural forward, but a slew of injuries has forced the speedster to play center midfield for her squad.

  • 100! Mother and daughter...

     SHALLOTTE – Gwenna Gentle had nine goals and a measley four assists during her freshman year on West Brunswick’s women’s lacrosse team.

    That makes her accomplishment two weeks ago at M.H. Rourk Stadium even Shallotte all the more remarkable.

    Gentle poured a shot into the back of the net in the second half of a big victory over county rival South Brunswick for her 100th career goal.

     SHALLOTTE – West Brunswick’s varsity baseball team capped an up-and-down week with a 12-0 victory over Kings Academy (S.C.) in the final game of the Touchstone Energy Beach Diamond Invitational baseball tournament on April 4 in Shallotte.

    Senior Owen McDowell ripped a two-run triple and sophomore Tanner Babson smoked a two-run home run in a six-run bottom of the fourth inning to lift the Trojans to a lopsided win.

    Babson started on the mound for West Brunswick and fired three perfect innings that included no baserunners and seven strikeouts.

  • Patrick Reed etches his name in...

    I have to eat a large plate of crow this morning.

    I didn’t think Patrick Reed had it in him. We’ve seen countless players, including Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth, enter the final round of the Masters with a lead only to succumb to intense Sunday pressure and fall short.
