It is hard to decide when to make up a make up game when you don't know when you are going back to school. Tonight's home game with Hunt in basketball is off until at least both Wilson and Nash County schools get back into school. My guess is Thursday night but don't hold me to that.
I don't know how I missed this but former Rocky Mount High player Stephan Virgil played in the East West Allstar Game January 23rd. The Virginia Tech senior will now wait on the NFL draft in April.
Last night I was on WHIG-TV as the Nash County Relay For Life began their annual preview show which will run until the week after this year's relay which is on the weekend of April 23rd and 24th. Last night's show featured a non relay event the Jim Clack Foundation.
This weekend the Former Blackbird's foundation which has just recently been founded will have their inaugural event. It is being called The Jim Clack Foundation's Super Sunday Kickin Cancer football Party. It will be held at the Gateway Center starting at 4.00pm and will last until after the Super Bowl game is over.
The Foundation's goal it to help raise funds to train mentors to help with a cancer Patience's comfort,compassion and answers to anyone with Cancer. The event is free and everyone is invited to come by and stay a while. Clack's two Super Bowl Rings will be on display at the event. The Foundation's headquarters will be here in Rocky Mount.
Julius Pepper's agent is claiming that the former Southern Nash Firebird will be on the open market this year, as to this point the Carolina Panthers have not made an offer for Peppers to return next year to Charlotte. Peppers made more than a million dollars per game last year playing for the Panthers. Good luck to him trying to get more from any NFL team the year before a labor dispute.
It is February and the RPI ratings in college basketball are now beginning to mean something about whether your team makes the NCAA tournament or not. Duke is the only ACC team in top 20 and they are fifth in the RPI. Wake is 23, followed by Georgia Tech at 25. Clemsom is 37,Maryland 50, Virginia Tech 70, North carolina 76, Miami 86, Virginia 90, Boston College 93 and rounding out the ACC in RPI ratings N C State at 107.
This is for you ECU fans that claim I don't pay enough attention to the Pirates. They are 207 in the RPI. You Carolina fans that think the Tar heels have it tough. UCLA the winningest team as far as NCAA titles are 10-11 this year and are 126 in the RPI.
