No LPGA For Lauren

She needed a 69 today in the final round of the LPGA qualifying school but could only shoot 72. Lauren Doughtie missed the top 30 and the LPGA qualifying by two shots. Her five round totals were 77-73-69-75-72. That 77 on opening day was to much to overcome. Amanda Blumenhurst the former Duke All American won the qualifier.

Tonight I was at Rocky Mount Academy doing play by play for the "Stretchlon Sports Show. RMA won both games to be seen later on WHIG-TV.

Called Jeff Craddock at Tarboro High to set up the Vikings for Sunday night live show this morning knowing he wasn't there. Always on Monday of the State Championship week all the coaches go to Chapel Hill for a press conference. Hope to hear back from Jeff tomorrow and hope we can have them on live Sunday like last year after last years Championship game. Hopefully this time will be a victory.

Mountain Hertitage is 13-2 on the season. They are in a split 2-A-1-A league. In three of their four playoffs games they have scored 50 or more points. The two teams haven't come close to playing a common opponent this year.

E CU fans can take a breath today. One of the possible jobs which Skip Holtz might have gotten was filled today. Virginia went for the Richmond coach who won the FCS National Championship last year. You know as soon as Notre Dame fills that job the dominoes will start falling and jobs will be open every where.

I don't know how many of you fans remember years ago when Tom Landry was the coach at Dallas there was a play I'm going to say this happened in about 1989. Danny White was changing a play at the line of scrimmage and the camera caught Tom Landry shouting "No Danny No". He could tell the play that White was going to run was not a good one and of course they were stopped. It was the beginning of the end for Tom Landry in Dallas.

Do you suppose that the fourth down play by Bill Bellichek against the Colts is the beginning of the end for Bellichek and the Patriots. They haven't play very well since.

You can use Rocky Mount and N C State as examples, but the injury bug has the Pittsburgh Steelers. The team that Pittsburgh puts on the field now week after week is only a shell of the team when they are healthy. 6-6 I think they are done this year.

Finally Tonight It is rumored that Danica Patrick of the Indy racing league will sign Tuesday with Junior Ernhardt and race on Saturday's in Nascar. I have to tell you, If Danica looked like Janet Guthrie there would be no interest from Nascar . Patrick can't drive any better than Janet but her looks keep her in commercials
