Last weekend, five members from Waccamaw High School’s Student Council, as well as the Council advisor, Mrs. Humowitz, traveled to Riverside High School for the annual South Carolina Association of Student Council’s State Conven-tion.

electric guitar was Jack Sanders doing a guitar improvisation.

Warriors at Lake Norman Article and pictures by Mr. Michael Benton

The Warriors Competitive Sailing Team traveled to Lake Norman last weekend, March 12th and 13th. There were 20 teams there from four states to compete. One of the teams traveled from St. Petersburg, Florida. The winds were extremely light on Saturday with the sailors only having one race for the day. To take up some time, our Warriors played cards and ping pong to pass the day. Sunday morning brought very light breezes, but the sailors were able to complete nine races. The “A” Fleet, consisting of Noah Benton and Victoria Marinoff, had a total of 63 points for the weekend. The “B” Fleet, with Noah Giltmier and Anna Sandor, had a total of 58 points. The combined points for the Warriors ended up at 121 for the weekend with the team finishing in 14th place.

The Warriors are going to Lake Jordan, outside of Raleigh, this weekend to compete in the last points regatta for the season.

Chris Kaylor, Trey Salley, Jackson Cole, and

Patrick Golden of the Waccamaw varsity golf

team competed in The Members Club Junior

ment, Waccamaw finished the Invitational tied

for 2nd place with Boiling Springs and three

shots shy of the 1st place team Cannon High

School. Junior Patrick Golden and Boiling

Springs golfer Trent Phillips tied for 1st place in

individual scores turning in a scorecard

6-under par on a 72-par course. Golden then

birdied the first playoff hole to capture the

individual title. Congratulations to the team

You win some,

you lose some By Maddie Giarratano

On Monday, March 14th, the varsity girls lacrosse

team played against the St. James Sharks at St.

James High. During the first half, the Lady Warriors

had trouble keeping the ball away from the goal and

getting ground balls. The Sharks led at the end of the

first half with a score of Sharks-7 and Waccamaw-3

with goals made by Sophia Flory, Sassy Tolson, and

May May Henry. During the second half, the Lady

Warriors brought their “A-game” and played with all

they had. The offense had great communication,

shouting out calls they made during practice deriving

four goals, two made by Tolson, one by Flory, and

one by Lillian Hardee, her first goal of the season.

Sadly, Waccamaw lost with the final score of 14-7.

On Tuesday, March 15th, the girls traveled up to

Columbia to play the Ridgeview Blazers. The girls

played hard during both halves, leading to a victory

and the second win of the season. The final score

was 17-10. Goals were made by Flory (3 goals),

Henry (2 goals), Tolson (3 goals), Celie Anderson

(1 goal), Maddy Middleton (1 goal), and Lora Eddy

(7 goals).

Amelia Jones finished third in the 1600m, and first in the 3200m, and DeSpain won the bronze in the 800m. A school record was broken for the 3200m by MacLeod, formerly held by Robert Jones.

The girls track team captured several first place finishes in relays with the 4x100m, 4x800m, and 4x400m, all getting the gold.

Varsity Softball By Lyric Wigfall

On Thursday, March 10th, the Lady Warriors varsity

softball team played St. James. The Lady Warriors put up a

hard fight, but couldn’t keep up against the Sharks. St. James

took the win. Kinley Cooper went 2 for 3 and Isabel Sanchez,

Logan Howard, Jordan McNair, and Hunter Prior all had one hit

each.

On Wednesday, March 15th, the Lady Warriors played their first

region game of the season against Dillon. It was another tough

night for the team scoring only two runs and ultimately taking a

loss. Sanchez drove in both runs with an RBI single followed by

a double by Howard.

The Lady Warriors played its first home game last night against

Timberland but the results were not available at press time.

Boys and Girls Varsity

Soccer By Sophia Flory

The girls and boys varsity soccer team played Loris on Thursday, March 10th.

The Lady Warriors beat the Lions 8-0. Goals were scored by Lawson

Murphy, Jessica Preedom, and Anna Hansen. Sarah Allston scored two

goals and Hayden Kelly got a hat trick. Our boys’ varsity team brought home

a win defeating the Lions 6-0. Goals for the Warriors were scored by Chris

Crosby, Maddox Wilkinson, Mason Preedom, Anderson Clemons, and

Pearce Dechamplain. Go Warriors!

On Saturday, March 12th, the Lady Warriors played Bishop England at home.

Our girls put up a good fight but were beat by the Bishops 5-0. The boys’

team played North Myrtle Beach on Monday, March 14th, at home. The

Warriors were scored on early in the half and could not seem to find the back

of the net. The final score ended with the Chiefs winning 1-0.

The girls and boys varsity teams played Aynor last night, but the results were

not available at press time.

Warrior Baseball

Making a Start By Alex Altman

On March 8th, our

Waccamaw Warriors

varsity baseball team

batted against Andrews

High. Even though the

game was held at Andrews, the bleachers

were filled to the max with enthusiastic

Warrior fans. The Warriors started this game

rough by committing three errors, but they

didn’t let that keep them down. Putting their

mistakes behind them, WHS would produce

7 hits that drove in 14 runs to put them on

top. Coach Gregory says, “hits are conta-

gious,” and that night, they were. The big

sluggers of the night were Connor Eckard

who went 1-2 and scored two runs, Levi

Almond who went 1-3 with an assist by Alex

Altman to run for him, and Forrest Powell

who went 1-4 and scored two runs. Carter

Fox would back up the bats by shutting

Andrew’s bats down with six strikeouts.

Waccamaw came out of this game with the

dub and a final score of 14-4. Great job

Warriors!

This past weekend, March 11th-12th, our

varsity baseball team took a road trip to USC

in Columbia. They played two games while

there, one against Brooklyn Cayce, and the

other against Pelion. The games were

played Saturday morning in the hot Columbia

weather. Brooklyn Cayce was the first game

of the day and turned out be very intense.

The Warriors came out strong by putting up

four runs early. Powell was the leading hitter

by going 2-4 with one RBI and one run. The

Warriors took their foot off the gas in the 4th

inning, which gave Brooklyn Cayce a chance

to come back. The bed bugs must have kept

Waccamaw’s defense up all night because

they produced seven errors, which Brooklyn

Cayce took advantage of. They drove in four

runs to tie up the game to 4-4. Junior Karl

Strittmatter did a phenomenal job on the

mound by committing 10 strikeouts and only

giving up two hits. With an awesome job

done by Strittmatter, Miller Brinson walked

up to the mound to finish Brooklyn Cayce off.

However, sometimes, everything doesn’t go

as planned. Brooklyn Cayce got a runner on

second base and drove him in to win the

game. The final score was 5-4 Brooklyn

Cayce. Even though Waccamaw didn’t get

the win, they still played hard.

The game at Pelion was a horse of a

different color; the Warriors came out strong

and stayed that way the whole game.

Waccamaw started to make moves in the

second inning by driving in run after run, and

having a lot of energy on defense to back

their bats up. The top sluggers of the game

were Eckard who went 2-3 with two runs,

Almond who went 2-4 with one run, Jaret

Montenery who went 2-2 with one run and

one RBI, and Daniel Rourke who went 2-3

with two runs and one RBI. Powell took the

mound in the 1st inning and shut Pelions

offense down complete by only allowing one

run. They battled early and got off the field in

the 5th inning due to the ten-run rule. This

was a weekend to get stronger as a player

and as a team. Great job this weekend

Warriors and keep it up.

Waccamaw started their region off right this

past Tuesday against Dillon. On March 16th,

the Warriors traveled to Dillon to play a 6:30

game. With some bus difficulties on the way,

our Warriors got to the field at exactly 6:30.

Only 5 minutes to stretch and warm up the

arms, Waccamaw stepped up to the plate

and stunned Dillon's defense. Our Warriors

runs came in early with two runs in the first

inning by Eckard and one run in the second

inning by McKinley Grooms. Almond had a

solid game by going 2-4 with a double. Dillon

was able to drive a run in in the 5th inning,

but after that they ran out of luck. Fox would

pitch all seven innings and shocked the

pitching coaches going in clutch when need-

ed and never giving up. Waccamaw secured

the win with a final score of 3-1. It was a

great game played all-around just doing the

fundamentals. Keep up the progress,

Warriors.
