Friday's Game Moved To Thursday

If you have heard the weather forecast there is a chance of a big snow storm in the area Friday night and in order to beat the weather Friday's games with Nash Central have been moved up to Thursday night.

There is one simple adjustment made at Rocky Mount home games this year. The girl JVs have played in the main gym at 4.00pm. The JV boys have started their games at 5.00pm or whenever the girl JV game has gotten over in the auxiliary gym. This has made it possible for the varsity girls game to start right at 6.00pm.

There are times when an overtime occurs or between the two JV games that it has been well past 6.00 before the varsity girls have started which means the boys are later starting. When Tuesday night games were involved this put our kids getting home late on a school night. If both varsity games run a normal time they get over about 9.15 or so.

Moving the games to Thursday night puts me at Rocky Mount Prep doing a game for the Stretchlon Sports show so I will have to rely on my sources to give me the info on the Nash Central games Thursday night.

The Carolina-State game got over in plenty of time Tuesday night to turn over to channel seven to watch the sports. If you were at the game you saw Billy Weaver of channel seven in the house recording Tashawn Mabry breaking Phil Ford's scoring record. It was such a big deal Weaver lead off with the story over the State-Carolina game when the sports came on.

Speaking of Carolina -State game. There are times when a team just plays as well as they can play and there is not a lot you can do about it. I think the Heels played their best game of the year and if State had of shot a better percentage of threes the game might have been closer.
