  • New league a better fit for West

    This spring is the final season for West Brunswick High School in the Mideastern 3-A/4-A Conference, and apparently few in this area will be upset to see the conference disband as the result of realignments by the North Carolina High School Athletic Association.

    The basketball season was a perfect example of the disparity that left West’s teams at a disadvantage while competing with the larger 4-A schools in Wilmington or the 3-A schools in Jacksonville. West’s boys’ finished 1-11 in the conference; West’s girls, 2-10.

    Rivalries were nonexistent.

    Red Drum range all along the Atlantic Coast, except in the coldest states up north. They are also found in the Gulf, where their population (and North Carolinas’) was once almost wiped out by the popularity of Louisiana Chef Paul Prudhomme’s “blackened redfish,” which caused the fish to jump from an occasional catch to a big deal for commercial fishermen.
