Wilcox watch

In the first of a five-game road trip, the Seattle SuperSonics dropped a 94-93 heartbreaker to the host Milwaukee Bucks Tuesday night in National Basketball League action. Former Whiteville High All-Stater Chris Wilcox scored 16 points while grabbing eight rebounds and coming up with three steals as the Sonics’ season record dropped to 10-12. Wilcox has started all 22 games for Seattle this season and is averaging 31.7 minutes, 11.3 points and 8.5 rebounds. The Sonics visited the Chicago Bulls Wednesday and will play the Cavaliers in Cleveland on Friday.

Dewaine Betts scores 23 points and Magellan Powell follows with 18 as Coach Michael Powell’s West Columbus Vikings up their season record to 4-0 with a 75-59 basketball victory over host East Columbus at Lake Waccamaw. Lewis Harvin scores 25 points for East Columbus, which is playing its inaugural basketball season after being formed by consolidation of Hallsboro and Acme-Delco high schools. Betts, who goes on to claim an All-Waccamaw Conference and All-Columbus County honors, loses his life in a tragic automobile accident shortly after the close of season.
