Friday night Southwest Edgecombe took to the court hosting Kinston High School and UNC Bound Reggie Bullock. All most as if Kinston was toying with the Cougars, Kinston only played Bullock and the first team about half the time up to the end of the third quarter and the SWE Cougars only trailed by eight. The fourth quarter was all Reggie and Company as Kinston disposes of SWE 85-47. Bullock put on a show for the packed house in scoring 35.
SWE has a full weekend of basketball as last night hosted Kinston in a conference game, tonight they host the Gryphons. By 9.00pm Saturday night SWE may very well be able to tell you which team is better? 2-A Kinston or 3-A Rocky Mount.
Both Rocky Mount boys and girls brought a bag full of points with them in their visit to Southern Nash last night. The girls scored 80 points in romping Southern Nash 80-44. This left the boys in a position that they didn't want to be out scored by the girls so the Gryphons put more than 100 on the score board beating Southern Nash 109-75. WOW!
ECU has a new football coach in town and it is former Pirate Ruffin McNeil. McNeil is bringing with him to ECU the offensive coordinator at Texas Tech Lincoln Riley. Texas Tech during the Mike Leach era were known for offense not defense. Bringing Riley on board the Pirate ship may really be a big coup for McNeil.
One of the biggest problems average teams have in following up great performances is having a dud the next time out. A couple of weeks ago N C State beat Florida State and followed that up by being twenty behind at the half of their next game to Clemson. Let's see how they fare today in College Park against Maryland.
Carolina players as well as fans are in shock over how this years team is being dominated. I don't think any Carolina Supporter had dreams of winning back to back NCAA titles with what this team had coming back this year but I don't think any body saw that this team may not even make the NCAA tournament.
There use to be all kind of all star football games for college Seniors. The North/South,Blue/Gray but now there are only two. The rosters for the Senior bowl which is played yearly in Mobile Alabama were announced Friday and to my disappointment Terrell Hudgins did not make the roster. Former New Bern Running back Monterio Hardesty who played at Tennessee did. Hardesty was on the field in 2004 when Hudgins and the Gryphons beat New Bern for the last Big East 4-A championship.
