Taking the Next Step

Both North Carolina and N C State want to be considered top level college football programs. In order to step to the next level teams that are great don't lose to the average team. I think with the quarterbacks that both teams have State has a chance for a better season this year than Carolina. Both have a lot of average teams left to play and if they don't step up more losses coming for both.

Who in the world would have thought that Denver and New Orleans would be undefeated in the NFL after four weeks. New Orleans made the Jets look like they had a rookie quarterback and Dallas is a glitz team. They only beat average and worse teams. If you are any good at all Dallas can't beat you so Denver must be making that step forward to the elite.

Monday is Northern and Rocky Mount soccer at 5.00pm at Rocky Mount. Rocky Mount is 11-1-2 while Northern is 11-4 but both at 3-1 in conference play and neither can afford two losses in the first go round of conference play. The team that loses most likely is out of any chance of finishing in first place.

I'll be there for the Stretchlon Sports Show.

The two losses that volleyball took on Saturday drops them to 14-3 on the season. They return to action Tuesday for the final home regular season match against Southern Nash. They finish the regular season Thursday at Northern Nash. Tennis is home Tuesday hosting Southern.

I don't know if you ever heard this score but the JV's lost at Rose Thursday 36-32 in the last few seconds.

Conference play begins Friday for football. I know most of your have given up already on the Gryphons but those of you that have only shown up when they win any way. I think you will be surprised when we get back to playing teams on our level that we are going to make some big plays again.
