Cracked: A Readers

Theatre Production

Pictures by Jamie Rodriguez

Each spring, Mrs. Lawson’s Competitive Speech Honors III students direct

their teammates in productions. Monday night, May 4th, senior Kenzie Confer

directed “Cracked,” a Readers Theatre production about realizing you’re

more than fractures, fears, and failures. Readers Theatre brings prose and

poetry to life on the stage. The focus is on the literature and not on the

performer. “Cracked” included a

production of two essays, four

poems, and one song. The per-

formers included: Aaron Lampe,

Sam Averette, Zeke Phelan, Coya

Darcangelo, Jake Homan, Jonah

Crosby, Stephen Russell, Victoria

Marinoff, Sydney Register, Clayton Register, and Kenzie Confer. Great job!

On Thursday, May 14th

, the

Waccamaw Chorus will perform a

concert in the WHS auditorium

starting at 6:00pm. Everyone is

encouraged to come support

our singers!

Spanish classes celebrated Cinco De

Mayo. Cinco De Mayo is the celebration

primarily for Mexican-Americans to

celebrate their heritage and the

winning of the Battle of Puebla in the

1860s. The Spanish classes decorated

Varsity Baseball Advances to Lower State

On Wednesday, May 5th, the Warrior baseball team

played Barnwell at home for the District Championship.

To advance to Lower Sate and win District, the Warriors

would only need to win one game against Barnwell, and

for Barnwell to advance they

would have to beat the

Warriors twice. Waccamaw

came into the game confi-

dent that they would only

need one game to become

District Champions. The

game was low scoring

throughout as both teams

could not score through the

first seven innings, pushing

the game to extra innings. In

the bottom of the ninth

inning, with two runners on and two outs McKinley Grooms had a clutch hit to right field to walk

off with the victory. Carter Fox also pitched a great game, pitching a 2-hitter and a complete game shutout to set up the

walk-off victory. The Warriors are now District Champions and will advance to Lower State on Saturday at home versus

Bishop England.

Information provided by Coach Hunt

On Monday, May 4th, the boys’ tennis team finished their

regular season play with a doubleheader win over Aynor (7-0,

6-1). On Tuesday, May 5th, the team played a doubleheader

against Mullins for the region title. Congratulations to our

Warriors who took the title with a 7-0, 5-2 win. Justin Dunn, Ben

Hewes, Stephen Russell, Spencer Kemp, and Thomas Rowland all

won their singles matches. In doubles, Justin Dunn/Ben Hewes,

Scott Johnson/Jack Cook, and Will Tiller/Corey Loftus won their

matches. Tiller and Loftus had a come-from-behind win that

went down to a tie-breaker to secure the match.

The tennis team will play Hannah-Pamplico in the first round of

playoffs at Stables Park and the winner of Barnwell vs. Academic

Magnet on Monday, May 11th, also at Stables Park. Coach Hunt

said, “If all goes well, we have a showdown against Bishop

England on Wednesday, May 13th.”

Congratulations, team, and good luck in the playoffs!

Second Round of Playoff Baseball

Last Saturday, May 2nd, the Waccamaw Warriors drove

three hours to play the Barnwell Horses in the second

round of the playoffs. The Warriors started scoring early

with a huge first inning starting with a leadoff hit by

Connor Eckard. The Warriors got many runners on base

with multiple walks and errors that resulted in several

runs in the first inning. Will Golden came up with a clutch

hit that scored several runs and left the first inning with

the score of 5-0. Tucker Perry was dominant on the

mound, not giving up any runs until the fifth inning in

which Barnwell scored two runs. In the sixth inning, Ethan

Chastain extended the lead to 7-2 with a nice base hit

over the shortstop’s head. In the last inning, Justin Busby

came in to pitch to close out the game. Barnwell scored

two runs in a last desperate attempt to comeback.

However, Justin Busby shut them down and ended the

game with a 7-4 playoff victory.

Charleston as well for the first round of the playoffs. The Warriors dominated with a 12-0 victory, preventing any possi-

ble attempts on goal by North Charleston. Wednesday, the girls took on Andrews in the second round. Yet again, the
