The Opportunity To Win

Any coach will tell you their goal in any game is at the end of the game have a shot at winning. Sunday night Post 58 travels to Edenton and meets Post 40 in a double header which will decide the seeding for the up coming Legion playoffs. Rocky Mount wins game one they are the number one seed from our area regardless of what happens in the second.

A double header sweep and Post 58 finishes 8-1 in league play and the regular season champs for the second season in a row. A split could wind up in a tie with Wilson but Post 58 has won two of three against Post 13 this season had have the tie breaker. A double header lost could seed them all the way to third place. Third place would put the on the road first in the playoffs instead of home like first or second place provides.

Coach Hank Jones told me last Sunday that if necessary he would ask Hobbs Johnson to be in Edenton for Sunday night's game to pitch game one. Johnson who is in summer school at Carolina has become a weekend warrior for Post 58 the last two weeks since second session started. I suspect Brandon Denton will get the call in game two. It has seemed as if the last couple of games with the heat and playing so many games in a short period of time the players will relish this three days off before Sunday night's double header.

I have been on line checking out the Junior Miss pageant which is not on national TV this year. Hannah McMillan Rocky Mount's and North Carolina's Junior Miss will be waiting word whether she will be a finalist tonight. There is no TV but you can see it on the internet at www.local15tv.com.

I will blog as soon as there is anything to report Sunday night on the ball game and return to this blog if Hannah makes the finals tonight.
