Nash County schools being out the week before Easter and practically everyone else out the week after Easter, has messed the schedules up.
This year there was no Easter Baseball tournament in Rocky Mount for the first time in years. It didn't bother the four Nash County Schools but those that could play could only play next week not last week.
So the Gryphons play three in almost a day. one on Friday and two on Saturday.
Next week baseball has a conference game on Thursday at Fike an that is it next week.
Finally the following week we have Nash Central on Tuesday April 21st and Northern on the 24th to get back on a regular schedule.
Ben Fish had a big weekend running his Career RBI totals to 66. His next RBI he will be the all time run knocker inner in Gryphon history.
Wes Bradshaw has missed the last two home days behind the microphone doing PA. Wes has found out that life performs better with a income from a job which he has just started in the last couple of weeks. I know it is killing his soul not to be there but somebody has to pay the light bill.
The Carolina Hurricanes finish in the 6th position in the eastern standings and will play New Jersey in the opening round of the hockey playoffs. I think New Jersey is a good match up for the Canes.
The Charlotte Bobcats gave it a good shot but they have been eliminated from the NBA basketball playoffs. It is the first time in their short existence that they put a scare in the playoffs.
The schedule didn't do them any favors. They have just played two in a row on the road and their last two games of the year are on the road. They will be the first NBA team in history to have to play their last four games of a season on the road.
You know I am not a fan of rankings. I don't care whether it's the AP football pole or CNN/ESPN or more locally Impact baseball's North Carolina pole. Riverside came to Rocky Mount yesterday as the #1 team in 4-A team in the Impact Baseball pole. I think what most folks saw was a team that would have a hard time making the playoffs in the NEW-6 3-A.
If next week Rocky Mount returns to the #1 spot in 3-A don't hold you breathe. Poles haven't won a game this year or any other.
I do think that today's technology that the computers rankings are very accurate I think 90%.
