On March 7th, Our varsity Trojan’s baseball team took a stellar win over the Clinton Dark Horses leaving the score to an amazing 9-0 victory. The game took place on a cold friday evening at the Trojan’s home base. The Trojan’s immediately took control once they stepped on the diamond. Their offense was the only thing keeping the fans fired up on the chilly night. Junior Cooper Wilson did an oustanding job pitching. He threw a remarkable seventy-eight pitches. As well as Connor Wilkerson stepping in to contributing thirty-six pitches. In total they both threw one- hundred and fourteen pitches. The Trojan’s were relentless all the way through ending at the top of the seventh inning. In the first inning they scored four runs. As well as the 2nd inning they also scored four runs. Leaving the Trojan’s in the lead for the first and second inning with a score of 8-0. The score was 0-0 in the third inning. However the Trojans did score one more run in the fourth inning. That left the score at 9-0 with the Trojan’s in the lead. Both teams played for three more innings with no one scoring any runs. This left the Trojan’s to take their third lucky win of 9-0. The victory not only highlights the Trojan’s current ablilities but also sets a high standard for their games to come. As the season progresses, fan’s, coaches, and players will be eager to see if the Trojan’s can maintain this level of preformance that will continue their winning streak.

15-year old sophomore Jaylynn Barron is currently in her second semester of journalism. Barron was born in Supply, North Carolina and raised in Varnamtown.
Barron is currently a junior varsity cheerleader. She is also a member of Key Club. Her favorite things include shopping, hanging out with friends, going to country concerts and cheering at sports games.
“My proudest moment was making the cheerleading team freshman and sophomore year,” said Barron.
Barron’s dreams are to go to North Carolina State University and become an elementary school teacher. Her motivation for becoming a school teacher was actually inspired by one of her former teachers.
“My 8th grade math teacher Betsy O’hara inspired me to try harder in class and drive to become successful with her sweet words of motivation,” said Barron.
Photography and sports journalism was what interested her to become a part of the West Wind.
Barron’s interests have not parted far from fall semester. Her love for photography has grown and she enjoys taking pictures at football games.
“Being behind the camera gives me a whole new perspective of not only the game but also the connections between players on the field,” said Barron. “To me photography isn’t just taking pictures, to me they tell a story.”
Her hopes for this semester are to dive deeper into writing personal stories and capture unforgettable moments on camera.
