Unlike Volleyball tennis has survived to play another day. I had kitchen duty tonight at church and was unable to get by Sunset Park this afternoon but looking at the NCHSAA playoff bracket our Ladies have beaten Union Pines 5-4.
This can only mean that the match was up in the air right down to the last doubles match. This also sets up a rematch with Fike next week in the third round of the playoffs. Rocky Mount and Fike beat each other once during the season and as the #one seed will play at Sunset Park. I think that is scheduled for Tuesday.
Lindesy Thomas. Kate Gray, Addie Keeter and Caroline Nelson have all qualified for the State doubles title which will be fought for Friday and Saturday in Burlington.
Today's team victory over Union Pines is pay back for Union Pines knocking us out last year at their place. This sets up Fike and Rocky Mount for the second time in three years to meet in the third round.
My Bad, the conference tournament soccer championship is tomorrow night and yes host Hunt will be there taking on the Gryphons. This is the third meeting of the season and Hunt won both matches by two goals.
JV Football Thursday night will travel to Southern Nash.
Having a daughter that was one of the managers of the volleyball team I hope your children take part in some sort of extra curricular activity while in school. It is good for their health to get them is some sort of shape. I have watched as the playoffs developed even Morgans desire to win and play another day in the playoffs.
Sports develops the habits of working together, gives them goals to shoot for and most of all when they lose how to cope with not making your goal. I know there are those who think sports should be eliminated but, in my honest opinion if it were a requirement that every child do something outside of school our children would all be better off. Whether it is the band, Chorus or sporting team I know I did better in school knowing I needed to stay eligible.
