Roy calls time out to set up this wonderful play which turns out to be dribble the ball until the clock gets low and throw up a desperation shot. Boy wasn't that their entire season in one play? I have heard from several Carolina fans today that told me their play was embarrassing last night and yet they won. Carolina plays for the title with three letters NIT.
Duke on the other hand is the favorite in this weekends final four of the four letter tournament the NCAA. I'll be pulling for Dook but this is no sure thing. If they play as bad as Carolina did last night they will be home Sunday. I picked Duke to make it to this game but to lose to Kentucky. They are the only team that I picked to make it to the final four.
Softball at Rocky Mount managed to go seven innings Wednesday night against SouthWest Edgecombe but lost 17-0.
Baseball dilemma: Thursday they have a conference game at Hunt and you would suspect Benton Moss takes the mound for the Gryphons. Then Saturday they play Smithfield Selma in the first game of the South Johnston tournament. If I have a choice of the two wins I want this week is both conference games. We won at Nash Central and then there's tomorrow at Hunt. You can bet SS will bring their #1 starter against Rocky Mount Saturday.
Just the way the schedule has played out, we will probably have to throw our three and four pitchers in the first game of the tournament. This game Saturday will go a long ways in telling you how strong Rocky Mount really is this year. If this year's team is better than last then the hitters have got to start producing. You can't wait until your third at bat to figure out a good pitcher and expect to score seven in the seventh every game. You know that every team is going to save their best for Rocky Mount.
