On December 15th the West Brunswick Trojans went up against the Vikings of Hoggard High School, with an unfortunate loss the Trojans showed sportsmanship and lots of hard teamwork, as the game started the Trojans were in the lead but by halftime, the score was 14-25 with 3 fouls, even tho the Trojans weren’t winning they still kept up their faith at a chance to win. As the game carried on the Trojans got frustrated as anyone would, but the coaches kept them in line encouraging them to keep a positive mindset. By the end of the game the score was 44-62 the Trojans felt a little defeated, Even though they lost this game there was still plenty of time and games to redeem themselves. The sportsmanship shows a lot more about the Trojans in their loss, showing they aren’t all about the win but just a chance to show their skills to their family and friends is more important than worrying about their loss.

Aniston McLamb is a 16-year-old sophomore. She was born in Loris, SC but grew up in Supply. Just recently, she moved to Ash where she lives with her parents and little sister. Mclamb is now going on her 11th year of dancing for “Simply Dance” in Whiteville. Her parents put her in dance at the age of five, and her love grew quickly. Her favorite style of dance is hip-hop because it is up-beat and allows her to let loose. “Dance is my escape,” said McLamb. “Whenever I am dancing I feel like all my problems go away–the studio is my happy place.” This is McLamb’s first semester in journalism. She wanted to join the class because she was in search of something new. She wanted to take a class that is interactive with the school and a class that keeps her busy. “I joined journalism because I was interested in the social media aspect of the class,” said McLamb. “I have seen Tiktoks on my ‘for you’ page of the class and it seemed like something I wanted to get involved with.” Outside of the West Brunswick walls, McLamb found an interest in attending and competing in pageants. She has been doing pageants avidly since she was two years old thanks to the support from her mom and the rest of her family. “I recently won the Fair Bluff Watermelon Festival Teen Miss,” said McLamb. “Pageants are going to stay consistent in my life, and I don’t think I’ll be stopping soon.” McLamb plans on going to UNC Chapel Hill. She hopes to pursue a career as a General OB/GYN. She has been thinking about going into this field since middle school. “I have wanted to go to UNC Chapel Hill since forever,” said Mclamb. “Going there has always been a dream of mine. If Chapel Hill doesn’t work out, my goal is to go to another college with a good medical program.”
