Awards Dinner Brings A Full House

Rocky Mount High school held the winter and spring sports award program last night in the gym. Gardner's Barbecue set up their serving line in the hallway in front of the cafeteria and all who ate dined in the gym. The bleachers were pulled out for those who only came to see their kids receive awards could sit while the others ate.

My guess is nearly 400 ate and another 125 watched from the stands. I hope this can become an annual event.

I had a very busy night last night as the Tar River Children's Chorus had their season ending concert and had to leave to watch Morgan sing. Check the Rocky Mount high web site today as Charles Alston will post all of the year end awards handed out last night.

The Carolina Hurricanes when they lose most of the time is turnovers by the defense giving the otherside quick shots. That again last night was a big issue as the Pittsburgh Penquins scored three times in the third period to beat Carolina 7-4.

I hope you were still up to see Evgeni Maulkin's third goal of the game a back handed no look shot that went in the net at the only possible place he could have gotten the shot by Cam Ward. It is the greatest shot I have every seen in my very short hockey watching career.

Game six is Saturday night in Raleigh.

Is it possible that the TV networks executives may be getting ready to jump off a bridge. The two glamor players in the NBA Kobe Bryant and Lebron James the two teams that everyone predicts will play for the NBA title have both lost at home early in their series.

Denver looks better to me than LA. If I was Cleveland I would really be worried. Lebron goes 20 for 30 shooting and they still lose. Lookout Orlando just might play Denver for the title.

That is a TV executive's nightmare when they could get Kobe versus Lebron.

Tonight the Knights of Northern Nash and the Golden Demons of Fike High School try to continue in the baseball playoffs.

How a bout those Firebirds. The boys tennis team from Southern Nash has made it again to the state championship match.

Good luck to all still playing
