Southern Nash's Julius Peppers has been named one of the team captains for this years Carolina Panthers football team. Peppers who during the off season stated that he wanted to be traded while contract negotiations were under way never did sign a contract so the Panthers put the franchise label on him which means he must be paid the average of the top five players at his position in the NFL. That works out to about 16 million plus that he will make this year.With every thing that goes on during the off season players don't care until it's time to bucket up the chin strap.
The last time the Lady Gryphons volley ball team played Roanoke Rapids the match went to the fifth set tie breaker before the Gryphons won. Last night the Lady Gryphons took down RR in in three straight sets to push their record to 6-1 on the season. They travel to Hunt today for a conference match. The JV volley ball team sent their record to 5-0 beating the Yellow Jackets two straight sets.
The injury bug continues to take it's toll on the Gryphon football team. Trevor Tucker will not play Friday night when the Gryphons travel to Hertford County. Trevor is expected back next week after sitting this week with a leg injury. Tucker joins Spencer Bell and Carter Varnell already on the sidelines with injuries.
Last night I had the pleasure to be on Gattis Hodges radio show on WDLZ in Murfreesboro. Gattis the play by play voice of the Hertford County Bears has a local radio program which airs on Thursday nights and heard by all Bear fans in the surrounding area.
Hodges is like so many of us old radio guys, found a real job before he ever got into radio. There are so many networks on tv now days that kids fresh out of college get play by play jobs that don't even know how to plug up the equipment. Gattis has done it all and if he had of been closer to a big market could have easily made it on any network.
Gattis is one of the really good guys in our business.
Tonight JV football is home to the HC Cubs. I'll be on PA tonight for the first time this year. Had to miss the first game due to those things that pop up on a daily basis being a parent.
