Second Season Begins

The Big East Basketball tournament gets underway tonight and Rocky Mount will be in scout mode. The Gryphons as the top seed sits tonight waiting for the semi finals on Wednesday. Mike Gainey's game of interest will be Nash Central and Southern Nash as the winner gets the Gryphons Wednesday.

Pam Gainey's girls basketball team sits during Tuesdays first round for the girls tournament. She will intently be focusing on Nash Central and Northern Nash as the Lady Gryphons draw the winner Thursday night.

If all goes as planned this week the Stretchlon Sports Show will cover both final games Friday night. I will do play by play of the girls game and Wes Bradshaw will colorize the game while when the boys play we will switch.

Spring sports can officially hit the practice field this week. Just about all high school teams play their first games March first. College baseball begins Friday. ECU will find out right off the bat what they have this year playing Virginia this weekend in Greenville and next weekend South Carolina. Both Virginia and South carolina are preseason top twenty teams. Either weekend will be outstanding to watch if you can stand the frostbite.

Pot holes are every where. Yesterday the Daytonia 500 stopped twice to repair a pot hole between turns one and two. it took about two hours for just one. How long will it take to repair the pot holes in front of McDonalds on Sunset Avenue? There is about fifty yards of pot holes one after the other.

108,000 people went to Dallas to watch the NBA all star game. About 70,000 of them had to watch it on the big screen to see it. Kobe and LeBron get all the attention in the NBA but Dwayne Wade is a darn good player.
