East Carteret Basketball Schedule

[marinersgold]

Well coach Anderson has put together another brutal schedule for his mariners with an interesting twist. East will play the local 2-A and 3-A teams plus games at 4-A New Hanover and during the holidays three games in Fayetteville against some 4-A schools. The mariners will also play at 2-A defending state champs Farmville Central on Martin Luther King holiday Monday.
Coach Anderson doesn't normally add a 1-A non conference game but this year he did and it's a big one. On December 22 there will be a double header at East. Winston Salem Prep will travel to Carteret county to play the mariners. The first game will be Dixon vs Havelock. Coach Gould wants his kids to see beautiful Beaufort and gaze at the wonderful beaches and ocean. I believe Prep will travel back to Winston after a one night stay. I don't know if this is a home/home deal.

That WS Prep-E Carteret battle could be a preview of the state championship.

 

[marinersgold]

East opened the season tonight with a 72-28 victory over Croatan Cougars. Due to about eight varsity kids still playing football only nine players dressed out. Some jv players got to play and they played well.

Believe me, the players (and fans) expect to win them all .

After getting thumped at home by Northside - Jacksonville, ( Congrats to them , first time I've seen that in many many years) The East Carteret Mariners make the big comeback across the river at 3A undefeated West Carteret .

I just noticed a very interesting game on the Mariners schedule. On Dec. 28, they're playing Richmond County in the Holiday in the Pines tourney. Richmond County has scored more than 100 points in each of their three games. In their first game, they put 130 on Anson.

Yes , I saw that . It doesn't appear too much defense was being played in those games and I'm unsure of the level of competition. We will know more about it by gameday as East has tilts against Jones Sr. , New Hanover and W.S. Prep before that date and Richmond has a possible six games with the tournament play to come.

 

[Chute Boxe Hero]

Richmond's level of comp hasn't been too, too bad. Anson played West Stanly to within six. If you can do that, you're not a bad team at all. Judging by the scores, Union Pines doesn't seem too impressive. However, they did beat Terry Sanford (3A state runner-up) a few days ago.

East will play Jones and NH without their only big kid Robert Johnson. Robert will be playing in the shrine bowl.

East led by eight at the half but when East's only big man Roberet Johnson picked up his third and fourth fouls early in the third quarter the game turned against East.
