Weather May Have A Say

Rocky Mount and Fike girls tied for first place in the Big East's first tennis season. The conference tennis tournament is underway at Barton College but before it ends Wednesday night weather may not let it end. Depending on how far they advance in the tournament and with the forecast not good the rest of the week. Officials just may add up the points through ever how far they get on Wednesday and call it a tournament.

Wishing not to have to have a playoff match for first place , a coin toss was held for the #1 seed in the playoffs. Both Rocky Mount and Fike beat each other when they were home and since they both have met in the third round of the playoffs the last two years home court is important. The lady Gryphons get the #1 seed. Should both survive their first two rounds of playoff matches they would collide in Rocky Mount.

The cell phones have been busy over the last twenty four hours as with the pending weather approaches and with the thought that Hunt and Rocky Mount soccer would have three matches next week if they kept the schedule they were on, it has been changed to Saturday at 2.00pm at Rocky Mount. That's right the soccer game between Hunt and Rocky Mount has been moved to Saturday.

Rocky Mount travels to Fike tomorrow and Hunt host Southern Nash if they get them in. Since it rained on Monday neither team has played this week so the Saturday match would only be their second this week if the rain doesn't stop Wednesday's matches.

Rocky Mount girls volley ball watched Nash Central the # five seed beat Northern tonight a # four seed so Girls volleyball will feature # one seed Rocky Mount and Nash Central at 5.00pm Thursday in the semi finals of the conference tournament. Hunt the # two seed will play the host Lady Firebirds who knocked off Fike tonight. the finals are next week.

I see in the Rocky Mount Telegram that Mike Moseley former Athletic Director at Nash Central and basketball coach has joined John Thompson staff at Wesleyan. Once you get coaching in the blood it's hard to walk away in the prime of your life.

Kind of a full circle so to speak as Rennie Taylor who for the past several years has been basketball coach at Rocky Mount Academy and before that a John Thompson assistant at Wesleyan has followed Moseley to Nash Central and is the new basketball coach.

Mickey Davis who has been part of the Wilson County sports for a long time and in the past ten years has lead Wilson to hosting all types of Babe Ruth World series is going to be inducted into the Babe Ruth Southeast regional Hall of Fame on Saturday night. Next step after the regional is the National Babe Ruth Hall of Fame and if Wilson keep hosting Babe ruth World series it won't be long.

By the way Wilson will host another one next year.
