Wave bid falls short for first win,
By George Starks
GREENVILLE - When a kid plays with the heart of a champion, sometimes

Guillozet Friday at The Ocean. The Greenville freshman put the Wave on
his back and did all he could to will Greenville to its first win of
the season. Despite leading all scorers with 19 points, Guillozet
