Long Ride-Worth While

Monday the Lady Gryphon Tennis team traveled to Coinjock to take on the Currituck in tennis. Those of you that remember when Northeastern use to be in the same conference as Rocky Mount that it took forever to just get to Northeastern High School which by the way is located on this side of Elizabeth City. Coinjock is all the way through Elizabeth City past Camden and then another twenty miles.

If you are going all that way to play tennis when you get there you might as well make it worth the ride and the Lady Gryphon Tennis team did scalping Currituck 9-0. That helped with the long ride home.

Today soccer travels to Roanoke Rapids.

Today is the first day of school and I see that during an NFL game this past weekend Chad Ochocinco was fined by the NFL for tweeting while the game was in progress. That makes me wonder, of the 1250 students heading to Rocky Mount High today-How many will text during class. Probably more than we all wish to know.

NFL training camps are in full swing heading to the first game of their season on September 12th. I go on the Dallas Cowboy site ever so often to see the latest news on Terrell Hudgins as he tries to make the Dallas Cowboys as a wide receiver. Yesterday on Dallas Cowboys .com there is a feature on Terrell call Getting to know Terrell Hudgins.

The article interviews Terrell laying out his problems trying to make the Cowboys. We have talked on this site of the numbers game in which Terrell is faced with at wide receiver for Dallas. My question is why in the world would they do an article on a rookie who might not be on the team two weeks from now. This gives me hope that Terrell just might make the team on special teams.

The comment section after the article where Cowboy fans give their five cents worth is running 90% in favor of the Cowboys keeping Terrell. It seems that Terrell has made an impression in Dallas(Oxnard California) Dallas's training facility on both the media and the fans. Let's just hope Jerry Jones has that same impression too.
