On Thursday, March 6th our Women’s Varsity Soccer beat South Columbus at our home field with a final score of 4-0. Holding South Columbus scoreless for the first two games of the season has been a huge success and a great way to kick the season off to a good start.

To start off the game captains junior Sadie Jones, and seniors Maya Mckenzie, and Brooklyn Coble met up midfield with the opposing team captains to flip a coin to see who gets the ball first.

The first half of the game had a lot more action than the second half. Junior Sadie Jones scored back to back goals and sophomores Grace Migliore and Londyn Fogel had a goal themselves.

“I think this was a great home game to start off the season,” said midfielder Grace Migliore. “I am happy I contributed to the game with my goal.”

All goals were scored in the first half and the second was where defense really shined. Defense played a huge factor in this game due to the scoreless 80 minutes for South Columbus two games in a row.

Seems like our Lady Trojans are going to have a real spectacular season ahead of them and fans can’t wait to see more.

About the Contributors

Matthew Argo, Sports Manager

Seventeen-year-old Matthew Argo has lived in Calabash his entire life. Baseball has been a big part of his life since he was four years old. Now in his senior season, Argo admits that his passion for baseball has faded since travel ball ended. Even so, the friendships he has built over the years make him continue playing. “My friends all being on the team is a main reason I still enjoy playing,” Argo said. “We are like a family and do everything together, on and off the field.” Argo worked at Dunkin’ Donuts over the summer, saving money for his future. His dream school is the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. With a 4.3 GPA, Argo has kept his options wide open. He spends his free time playing video games like MLB The Show, 2K and Rocket League. Growing up playing and watching most sports is the main reason why he plays these games now. When it comes to long-term goals, Argo is still undecided. He is waiting for something to spark his interest, whether it’s with sports or anything educational. However, mixing the two is his main response when someone asks what he wants to do for his future. “I have not put too much thought into my future, but being a teacher has always been an idea,” Argo said. “Something like being a math teacher and coaching any sport for the school would be cool.” This year is Argo’s third semester taking journalism, and he is excited for the two semesters this year. Inspired by his sisters, who took journalism before him, Argo quickly found himself enjoying it. A UNC summer trip with the class made his decision certain to return for his senior year. Now, he looks forward to leading the sports section of the West Wind Weekly videos. Argo is excited to teach new members all the things that help them succeed in this wonderful class.

Jordan Thomas, Editor in Chief

16-year-old junior Jordan Thomas is in his fifth semester of journalism and is serving as the co-editor-in-chief this year. Thomas was born in Orlando, Florida, and spent most of his childhood there, but he eventually moved to North Carolina at nine years old. “The weather here is definitely way nicer, said Thomas.” I like it because it’s not always that hot and it’s not always raining. Florida is a different breed.” Thomas is also a photographer, he does photography for all sports and is a social media intern for a local college baseball summer league team. His interest grew for photography when he joined the West Wind. When Thomas is not doing photography, he likes to spend his free time playing video games with friends or listening to music, specifically R&B and rap. “I feel like those genres get me through life,” said Thomas. “Drake is the best to ever do it and he’s always been my go-to.” Thomas plans on going to the University of Florida State to pursue his journalistic career and get his name out there to grow to the professional level. He wants to work for his favorite team the Jacksonville Jaguars, this team is close to his family in Florida and would be very ideal for him. “I want to be a sports journalist,” said Thomas. “I want to be able to interview the players and write a little bit of articles about them and grow my resume to get even higher up.” Although those are his plans now, they have not always been. “It’s a new thing–when I was in eighth grade all I did was play baseball,” said Thomas. “That was probably my dream with the amount of time I put into it.” The West Wind first sparked Thomas’ interest when he first saw a TikTok at the beginning of his freshman year. When he saw former West Wind student Ava Babson do TikToks for the school, he knew that’s where he wanted to be. “My goal this semester is to have two papers out,” said Thomas. I have to get that Tarheel award for us.”
