  • Happy faces: Brick Landing is...

    The 25-year history of Brick Landing reads like a Greek tragedy, comic opera, vaudeville and a Stephen King horror novel all rolled up into one.
    Built in 1987, the course opened to rave reviews. Winding through salt marshes and pinewoods, Brick Landing had four holes on the Intracoastal Waterway and four holes on the Saucepan Creek Marsh. There were changes in elevation. Seventeen holes had water in play. The greens were slick and smooth.
    The water hazards at Brick Landing were not decorative, but operative (right next to fairways, all around the greens).

  • Team OIFC wins 2011 Southern...

    In 2009, Team OIFC (Ocean Isle Fishing Center) consisting of Brant, Barrett and Rube McMullan, won the Southern Kingfish Association’s (SKA) National Championship title.
    The victory was a record-breaking feat, as the family team weighed a monster 74.1-pound king mackerel to anchor its winning 118-pound, two-fish aggregate. The 74.1-pound weight was a Mississippi state record, an all-time SKA record and it was the largest winning aggregate in SKA history.

  • Davis confident in second season...

     The West Brunswick boys’ basketball team won six games last year under new coach Eric Davis, but there were successes for the coach trying to re-establish a winning program at West.

    “No. 1, we tried to build a foundation for our program, and the kids bought into that,” Davis said.
