Nash Central Makes baseball Playoffs

Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!

If you have ever seen the Christian football movie "Facing the Giants" then you know that the movie shows about a team knocked out of the playoffs getting back in when a team is caught with ineligible players. I am not sure who but a team that had qualified for the state baseball playoffs failed to get the paperwork in on time to the NCHSAA. Their penalty they were taken out of their bracket and Nash Central being the first alternate gets in.

So Wednesday becomes their first practice this week for the Bulldogs as they travel to D H Conley in hopes of pulling off the the movies miracle.

Rocky Mount high starts defense of their 2008 state title as they play host to Southern Wayne tonight. Wes Bradshaw the long time baseball PA announcer for the Gryphons who has recently found employment in Pinetops will miss tonights game. Yours truly will be behind the mike
.
Urgent-urgent-urgent

Trying to beat Friday's weather forecast Northern Nash has moved their opening round playoff game up to tonight instead of Friday
Northern Nash starts their quest in the baseball playoffs at home to Bartlett Yancy. Fike will have a short ride but a tough test as they travel to C B Aycock. Southern Nash is on the road to Harnett county playing Triton.

After their opening round soccer victory the Lady Gryphons travel Friday night to Burlington Williams.

Also on Friday three players from the tennis team have made it to the State Finals lead by Alex Durham who will play in the singles.

Finally tonight the Carolina Hurricanes try not to make history by losing a 3-1 games advantage to the Boston Bruins. Boston is one of the orginal six team that started the National Hockey league. In all their glorious history they have never come back after being down three games to one. In their short history the Canes have never lost a game seven.
