Yow-Hoo Pack Picks AD

Reports are all over the internet tonight that Debbie Yow little sister of the late Kay Yow will become the new athletic director at N C State. Those of you that don't know of Yow she is the athletic director at Maryland and has done so for fifteen years.

During her fifteen year reign at Maryland the Terps have won twenty national championships and athletic grade point averages are in the top twenty per cent of all division one schools. Yow is pro sports and pro academics. She has proven at Maryland they both can go together.

I think the Pack has hit a home run.

John Wall went number one in the NBA draft Thursday night. Now we will get a chance to see if he really is a wizard on the basketball court playing in Washington. Wall from Raleigh will now try to become the best basketball player ever from Raleigh. If he does so he will take that title away from "Pistol"Pete Maravich who graduated from Broughton.

Reports out of Boston says that Rasheed Wallace will retire from the NBA. It is hard to believe that he has been gone from Carolina that long. Wallace who played for the Tar Heels will retire as the all time leader in technical fouls in the NBA history. You have to say Wallace went out the way he played. After the Laker victory in the NBA finals Wallace camped out in front of the referees locker room still in uniform until time for the team Bus to leave then he went to the team hotel still in his uniform. I guess he wanted to get one more technical for old time sake.

I am sorry for feeling this way but this World Cup is way over blown. What, there has been three matches that the winning team scored three goals. This is suppose to be the best soccer players in the world and from thirty yards out no body for any team can score. Don't give me that NBA mumbo- jumbo that it's great defense. Just like the NBA nobody knows how to shoot. The USA has played three matches and scored four goals. Just think they were the best in their division.

There is no such thing as an off season any more. If you ride near any high school campus this week all of the fall sports teams are beginning conditioning for the up coming season.

Speaking of riding by a campus. Has any body been by the new Rocky Mount High School. You can actually tell that there is going to be a building soon in place. There are all kinds of posts and stuff sticking out of the ground.
