Baseball America reported yesterday that former Rocky Mount Gryphon and rising UNC sophomore center fielder for the Tar Heels Brian Goodwin has been suspended for the Spring semester 2011 for violating university policy. He will be eligible for the 2011/2012 academic year. UNC has stressed that this is in no way related with the on going football investigation in which UNC turned over their part of the investigation this week to the NCAA.
UNC and NC State both are taking part in two different basketball tournaments this weekend and both opened up with Hugh wins yesterday. Harrison Barnes played like the All American that he has been picked to be as a freshman scoring 19 points in the first 15 minutes of the game. The heels took care of Hofstra 107-63.
The Wolfpack is in Charleston SC and played ECU as Freshman Lorenzo Brown and Brian Harrow delivered as promising freshman. The most heralded freshman of them all C J Leslie tried to make superstar moves early and found himself on the bench for most of the game but Brown with 16 points and Harrow 11 points 10 assists and no turnovers were too much for the Pirates. Pack 85-ECU 65.
Tonight Tarboro and North Edgecombe are at home in the high school football playoffs while Northern Nash hits the road at South Central. It is possible that tonight will be the last home game any of our high school teams play as they try to survive and advance in the playoffs. Tarboro does have an outside chance of playing the eastern finals at home but that is still two weeks after tonight.
This Sunday night on the "Stretchlon Sports Show " we will have the seniors fro the Nash Central cross country team on live. This group finished in the top ten in the state four years in a row.
NFL weekend of football got off and running last night as the Bears beat the Dolphins 16-0. As a Charger fan that is a good win for the Chargers as they see another team ahead of them in the wild card race in the AFC fall. The Dolphins drop to 5-5 and if you are a Minnesota or Brett Farve fan Chicago winning last night was not good for you as the THE BEARS now are 7-3. The Vikes are behind both green Bay and Chicago by three games.
