Lindsay Thomas And Kate Gray Make Finals.

The doubles team of Lindsay Thomas and Kate Gray after winning their quarter final match yesterday open today's play needing two victories to be state Champs in Ladies Doubles. They got one but not the second and the first one may have played a role.

The Thomas/Gray team met one of the home field advantage teams when they took on the doubles team from Burlington Williams. Today's action was moved inside because of the morning rains and Rocky Mount lost the first game 5-7. Thomas and Gray almost didn't get to a third game but they pulled out a 7-6 win in game two. The third game went The Gryphon teammates way as they won 6-2 to advance to the finals.

Any time that you struggle against a quality opponent and by the end of the match you have given every thing just to win this one, it is hard to refill the tank a few minutes later and play and even harder foe.

The Chapel Hill team of Helpingstine and Kimbrough took two straight from Lindsay and Kate and win the state title 6-2/6-1.

The number one doubles team will not have much time down before they get back to the third round of the team playoffs. They meet Fike in the third round Tuesday at Sunset Park at 4.00pm.

NEWS FLASH-NEWS FLASH-NEWS FLASH

More career records fall into the hands of Terrell Hudgins. Today in Spartanburg S C Elon beat Wofford 34-6 and Terell Hudgins had three touchdown catches and 153 Yards receiving as Terrell Breaks the all time 100 yards games record in FCS history. Today was the 24th time he has gotten over 100 in a game receiving the ball for Elon. Earlier this year Terrell broke the all time career catches list and only one more record is left standing and that is the all time yardage record which may well fall next week.

Mike Gainey told me last night in the press box that Soccer as the number two seed will get a home game Wednesday. The NCHSAA wants the game played at 7.00pm which puts the soccer field out because of no lights. First option would be to play at the football stadium like they did once last year but because of the crown in the field the stadium is not meant for soccer.

Now there is a new option. There is a possibility that the playoff game may be played at the soccer complex at the Roccky Mount Sports complex. I understand that the Sports complex fields are being used on Sunday's and middle of the week may be available and Mike Gainey hopes to finalize where the soccer team plays Monday if all possible.

Boy is there was ever reason for a new school, I think soccer would vote for it.

Their Victory over Nash Central last night clinched the #1 seed for Hunt in Football. They are 4-0 and are followed by Rocky Mount at 3-1. Southern and Northern Nash are tied for third at 2-2. Nash Central is 1-3 and Fike has yet to win a conference game at 0-4.

Regardless of the outcome of Hunt and Fike, Hunt is conference champs, but If Northern was to beat Rocky Mount and Nash Central beats Southern again then there would be a three way tie for second between, Rocky Mount, Northern and Southern.

Tell me how to figure the seedings out there.
