Sometimes thing just happen to fall your way. I got home tonight from church and turned on the b-ball game Duke and Wake.
Before tip-off, I channelled surfed and did not realize that WRAL-TV was carrying the Kay Yow Memorial service live. It didn't take long to forget basketball to watch the service.
My guess is about 5,000 people were there
I did not realize that as a coach representing the United States, Kay Yow's teams over the years were 21-1, including winning the 1988 Olympic gold medal.
Got back to the Wake game and saw the second half. Wake won on a layup at the buzzer. I can tell you right now, Duke, Wake and Carolina will make the Sweet 16 and further this year. I just have a feeling one of the three is going to be the NCAA champ. I am pulling for the Deacs to win their first NCAA title.
This year's best three ACC teams are reminiscence of 1974 when N.C. State, Maryland and Carolina only lost during the season to each other. At one point in 1974, the three teams were 1, 2 and 4 in the polls.
The Charlotte Bobcats are a team on the rise. Last night, they beat Kobe and the Lakers in L.A. The Lakers have only two teams in which they have losing record to. The Boston Celtics and the Charlotte Bobcats. In their five years of existance, the 'Cats are 5-4 against the Lakers.
Nash Central boys have won the NEW 6 Conference swim championship. The Gryphons finished third. Fike won the girls with the Lady Gryphons finishing fourth.
