Mystery Cleared Up

If you are a regular reader you may have noticed that a couple of weeks back we reported that Volley ball lost at Southwest Edgecombe. I will give you a refresher course. Morgan, our daughter is one of the managers of the volley ball team. She is a member of the Tar River Chorus and Thursday night is the only night each week that practice occurs. Whenever Volley ball plays away Morgan leaves after the JV game to go to TRCC practice.

The night at Southwest I rode to Pinetops and picked her up and carried her to TRCC. After practice she called a teammate and heard that the volleyball team had lost. About a week later Morgan e-mails me and say Coach Wilcox says we have lost only one game which was South Central.

Today the team learned that Southwest had to forfeit the match because of an ineligible player. So as of last nights come back win over Hunt the Volleyball team stands at 13-1. They are 7-0 in conference play.

A victory at Fike Thursday will clinch a tie and the #1 seed in the conference tournament which be held at Southern Nash Starting October 13th.

Girls Tennis won on Tuesday to run their record to 11-3. Their hopes of any part of a tie for 1st will be on the line as they play at Fike Thursday. Fike defeated them earlier this year in Rocky Mount 7-2. As far back as the NEW-6 conference Fike and Rocky Mount have battled it out with Fike having the upper hand mostly. Thursday's match in terms of importance is HUGH.

Just this minute found out that soccer won at Southern Nash tonight 6-1. That gives the boys a 11-1-2 record and 3-1 in conference action. their next game is Monday against Northern at Rocky Mount. If Football plays Friday as scheduled I will be doing the Northern game for TV.

I think right now Northern is like 9-4 so Monday's game shapes up to be a Donne Brook. Game time is 5.00 pm

URGENT

As I sit behind this computer tonight more news and this is not good for the football team. Senior Carter Varnell reinjured his knee in practice Monday. In all likely hood he has been lost for the season.
