Prom Night

What a beautiful morning to put up the windows and smell mother nature. If there seems to be an extra smell of perfume or Cologne in the air it might have something to do with the prom being tonight for the seniors at Rocky Mount High.

I didn't get to stay around to the end but girls soccer was leading 2-0 with 28 minutes to go yesterday in their match with Fike. Monday there is a revenge match with Hunt at home 5.00pm.
Softball is running out of chances to find victory this year. Monday they play their final non conference game at home with Beddingfield. Tuesday they are home to Northern.

Tuesday baseball is home to Northern and then Thursday home to Nash Central. There are just three week left in the regular season for baseball and softball.

Next week I will be doing three broadcast for the Stretchlon Sports Show. Thursday I will be at Rocky Mount softball where Nash Central brings their one loss team to play Rocky Mount. The following Monday April 26Th I will be at Rocky Mount Academy for the Faith-Rocky Mount Academy baseball game. Then that Thursday the 29Th I'll be at Nash Central when Northern Nash and The Bulldogs play softball. Right now Nash Central looks like the best softball team in the area as well as may be having the best player in Ashley Bone.

A couple of days ago I asked this trivia question to let you simmer on it for a few days and see if you might know this one. There are only eight jerseys that are actually retired at Carolina in Basketball. If you look up towards the rafters, you cannot see the ceiling for all the jerseys hanging there but only eight are retired. Jack Cobb last played in 1926. What was his number?

He didn't have a number. Back in those days their jersey's only had North Carolina on the front. Have you ever wondered why Babe Ruth wore three and Lou Gehrig had four. It was where they hit in the lineup. Babe hit third , Lou hit fourth. I wonder what number a relief pitcher had?
