The Brunswick Community College men’s basketball team improved to 5-0 by beating Surry Community College 77-65 Sunday afternoon at West Brunswick High School.

BCC fell behind 6-0 in the first 3 minutes, 16 seconds. But BCC outscored SCC 13-4 in the next 2:15 to take a 13-10 lead with 13:44 left.

Guard Lamonte Theus scored six of game-high 28 points in the run, and a 3-pointer by Cornell Holmes was the final basket.

Fishing has improved for some folks this week as anglers are beginning to focus on traditionally cold-weather species. Fish such as black and red drum, whiting and speckled trout will still provide a lot of action for folks as the fishing season comes to an end.

One winter fish that has already made a surge is the black drum. Black drum can be caught all year, but they really come to the forefront in the colder months. They are among our most dependable fish when a lot of better-known species have left for warmer waters or aren’t biting in the cold.

The finals of the Sandpiper Bay President’s Cup year-long tournament were played Nov. 5. The scoring was based on the FedEx system, leading up to competitions resulting in the top players competing for the top prize. The results were as follows:

Gross division: First, Bob Nicoletti, 81. Second, Dagn Alsup, 82. Third, a tie between Al Hooker and John Radziewski, 87. Net division: first, Bobby Bryce, 73. Second, Norm Burgess, 76. Third, Bob Kakos, 82. Fourth, Don Capretta (did not play).

The remainder of the club played low-gross and low-net scores.

The BCC men’s basketball team opened its season with two victories over the weekend.

On Sunday afternoon at West Brunswick High School, the Dolphins routed the Mount Olive College junior varsity team 116-88. On Saturday afternoon, the Dolphins beat Mount Zion Academy Prep 89-84.

“I’m proud of them,” coach Walter Shaw said. “The goal was to be 2-0 at this point, and we’re 2-0.”

Of course, Shaw saw some things the team needs to improve.
