Last Week Before The Storm.

This week Rocky Mount High school travels to Tarboro on Wednesday to play in an endowment game. First pitch is set for 7p.m.

Then Saturday, Wilson Hunt travels to Gryphon Stadium for a non-conference game. This was supposed to be the third Saturday of six in a row for the Gryphons. March 14 was a rainout with Riverside High School. This past Saturday was much the same as Hunt had to make up a conference game.

The Gryphons will try again on Saturday to play a Saturday game with Hunt . Game time is 1 p.m.

Boys tennis is home Tuesday to Southern Nash and at SW Edgecombe on Thursday. Girls softball is at SouthWest on Tuesday and at Tarboro on Wednesday. Both games start at 4.30 p.m.

Girls soccer is at SouthWest Wednesday at 5 p.m and they play in The Brittany in Wilson on Saturday at 5.30. Track has a meet at Northern Nash Wednesday and Saturday the teams will participate in an invitational meet at Southeast Guilford starting at 10 a.m.

Baseball begins conference play next Tuesday at 7 at Northern Nash. Mark your calendars for that one.

Lady Tar Heels fall in the women's NCAA tournament tonight.

Do you have any idea which NCAA men's game over the weekend was the most watched. Duke and Texas. Now you know why Duke always seems to play the 10 p.m. games. Duke in basketball is like Notre Dame is in football. You either love'em or hate'em, but regardless. you watch'em.

It time to start paying attention to college baseball. Just like football and basketball, the baseball race is coo-coo.

In the Atlantic division, BC with a 4-3 record is on top followed by Clemson at 5-4. They are the only teams in conference play above 500. Florida State is at 3-4, N.C. State and Maryland 3-6 and Wake is 1-8.

In the coastal division, Georgia Tech is 8-1, Miami is 7-2 followed by Virginia at 5-2. Carolina, which has lost only four games all year, is only 5-3 in conference play. UNC is followed by Duke 5-4 and Virginia Tech is 2-6.

If there was ever any questions about Billy Godwin as ECU's baseball coach, he has put that to bed this year. Beginning his fourth year at ECU, the Pirates are off to a 15-4 start. If they keep scoring the way they are now, it will be hard not for them to host a regional come June.

Does anyone remember Billy was one of Mike Fox's assistant coaches on N.C. Wesleyan's 1989 national championship team?
