Bulldogs Boys-Gryphon Girls Seek Track Titles

Saturday is the final day of track season this year as all those that have qualified both individual and teams go for Titles Saturday.

Friday was not a good day in Cary for local tennis players. Michael Bracket of Northern Nash drew a short straw and got the defending state champion in the first round of singles play losing 6-1-6-0.

Southern's doubles team of Res Bosshard and Adam Glover lost in the opening round of doubles play to a team from Charlotte Catholic losing 6-4-6-2.

Rocky Mount's doubles team of Miguel Valdez and Gavin Stone won their opening match 7-5-7-6 over the team from Marvin Ridge, but then fell in the quarter finals losing to a Western Alamance doubles team. Tennis champions will be crowned Saturday.

Rocky Mount, Hunt and Fike play second round baseball playoffs Tuesday. Nash Central and Tarboro both were eliminated Friday.

Gryphon girls Soccer meet West Carteret In round today at 2.00pm. The Rocky Mount band will be hosting a battle of the bands at 4.00pm today.

Did You Know: I have made mention of the fight between NC State and Carolina for eighth place in the ACC baseball race. There is a new development. Boston College who swept State three games in Raleigh about a month ago. They have fell on hard times the last few weeks. Carolina earlier in the season beat State two of three but will not play Boston College this year.

State beat Florida State Friday night to make their conference record 12-13. Carolina was rained out at Virginia and stands 11-13. Boston College only has three games against Georgia Tech next weekend but right now are 13-14.

Despite having lost five of six to both Carolina and Boston College if all three wind up tied N C State and Boston college get the final two spots and Carolina stays home. The way Boston College is playing now both State and Carolina could pass them in the standing and both make the ACC tournament.

Boston College has three games at Georgia Tech, Carolina has six games left. Three at Virginia and three at home against Florida State. The Wolfpack has two left with Florida State and three at home with Duke.

I have a feeling both the Heels and Pack are going to make it.
