The women played their ACC tournament today and Maryland in overtime beat Duke to win the ACC crown.
It doesn't matter to me whether it is a midget league game, when two teams are equal , sports can be fun to watch and this game was.
Carolina beat Duke to earn the No. 1 seed in next week's ACC men's tournament. Wake finishes in the No. 2 slot, Duke will take third and Florida State gets fourth.
Boston College and Clemson are the other teams in the league that managed at least eight conference wins but by being fifth and sixth they play Thursday with all the other have nots.
Due to poor finishes by Virginia Tech, Miami and Maryland, I think they will all join N.C. State in the NIT.
Davidson lost today in the Southern Conference tournament and I can see a Davidson-N.C. State first round match up in the NIT.
Duke played just good enough to lose against Carolina. They have improved with their new lineup, but are still weak in the middle defensively.
You would think the way WRAL-TV covered the postgame speeches by the Carolina's seniors Sunday night that they had won two or three national Championships in their four years. My last count was zero.
I haven't said much about them lately, but the Carolina Hurricanes are on a roll right now. They have scored 21 points in the last three games. If the season ended today, they would be in the playoffs but just barely.
The Canes bringing Eric Cole back for the stretch run is really good. Rod Brind'mour is my favorite player and Cole is my second favorite.
Gryphon baseball is off to a good start. Starting pitching has been excellent. But we all saw in last year's playoffs that they needed to develop a third starter to go along with Hobbs Johnson and Benton Moss.
You know during economic times like we are facing today that there are things in life that die due to the lack of funding to keep them going.
Richard Sarmeinto started the Stretchlon Sports Show more than six years ago. It has been on every Sunday night bringing you sports that our youth have been playing in.
In order for the show to continue, more sponsorship is needed. If you in any way can help keep the Stretchlon Sports show alive, please contact WHIG-TV and talk with them. If you express to me a comment on this blog, we will try to get in touch with you.
