A Day Of Rest

Pretty slow day on the home front today as the only sport of any interest going on is two game sevens in the NBA. They don't really interest me that much.

The Carolina Hurricanes ready themselves to start a new series Monday Night against the Pittsburgh Penguins. If the Canes hold form they will lose 4-1 Monday night and then turn around and win the second game in the series.

They really do play better when their backs are to the wall. There worse games in the entire playoffs were when they lead the series 3-1 and lost two in a row.

There are a few athletes still doing their thing this spring other than baseball and that is the track team members who qualified for the state meet. The state championships are this week.

Baseball plays at home Tuesday night against South Central. The Coastal conference still has four teams alive if you include Rose who is in the 4-A bracket. Conley and Washington join Central as still alive in the playoffs.

Tiger Woods after having been off for nine months is not having his way in the golf world as he did prior to injury. Finishing in the top ten isn't bad but we have all become accustomed to him winning every time he plays. His long layoff has brought back an old old problem. His tee shot. He can't keep it in the fairway. His putting has only been average and has not saved him like it has in the past.

I think last Sunday was Tiger's first time ever of playing in the last group and coming up the 18th hole where he was irrelevant.

There is an old saying in NASCAR that if you run up front enough you are going to win every once in a while. Tiger still runs up. Finishing first may not come as often as in the past.

Don't forget to get your ticket to the sport banquet Thursday night. Dinner is $10 and all winter and spring sports will be in the spot light.
