     WILMINGTON – West Brunswick had won just five of its previous 23 games against Hoggard in varsity boys’ basketball prior to this season.

    West Brunswick (12-11, 5-8) built a 12-point halftime lead, survived a Vikings’ third-quarter rally and made enough free throws late to knock off Hoggard for the second time this season.

  • All is right with the world when...

     I was still in the bed last Tuesday morning when my phone rang. I saw it was my middle brother, Brett, on the other end, so I picked it up and before I could even say, “Hello,” he asked me if I wanted to go to the Carolina (North Carolina, the real Carolina) versus Duke game on Thursday, Feb. 8, in the Dean E.
