ALL State

Andrew Morales is the only Gryphon soccer player to make the all state team. Good going Andrew

Weather permitting there will be a student-Faculty softball game at the softball field at 3.00pm Friday. I was by the school today to watch the Drama class give their Christmas performance and the practice football field is under water in some areas. I can bet the softball field is about the same. So this game Friday is pending a playable field.

Florida State's new football coach is cleaning the defensive house including former N C State coach Chuck Amato. Amato still owns a house in McGregor Downs in Cary and it would not shock me if he comes back to Cary.

Jeff Craddock of Tarboro High school returned my call on Tuesday and he will again this year appear on the "Stretchlon Sports Show Sunday following their state championship football game Friday night against Mountain Hertitage of Burnsville. I would like to thank Jeff for saying he would appear before the game because like last year it is not easy telling everyone about your great season if they lose Friday.

We talked about what we wanted to do I told Jeff that I wanted him to bring a few players and coaches like last year but I did want to change the program just a little. I wanted him to bring the State championship trophy with him this year. He is also going to bring the game film and if they win Friday we may show all of it. If you have never seen game film in a coaches office before. The only thing they record is once the team gets to the line of scrimmage and cut the tape off just after the tackle. We can watch the hold game in about 40 minutes.

Friday night instead of being in Chapel hill I will be at Faith Christian doing Falls Road boys and girls basketball for Stretchlon and WHIG-TV.

I have tried to stay away from commenting on the Tiger Woods fiasco. In life we all sin and he doesn't owe me any explanation. I do feel that the citizens of that area have the right to know what his blood alcohol content was and if they didn't give him a Breathalyzer test why not. If it had been me or you they surely would have given us one. I know he was in a private community but he ran over a public fire Hydrant.
