Friday is game one, Saturday the 1-A plays their second game at 11.00am and then game two of the 3-A title at two o'clock. If a third game is needed the 1-A will go at 5.00pm and if necessary the 3-a will go at 8.00pm for the title game. If Hunt is forced into a third game and there is no need for a third 1-A game the East Rowan and Hunt will play game three at 5.00pm.
This you may recall this is the same scenario in which Rocky Mount won the title in 2008, however that year the 3-A played at eleven and then the 4-A follow and Rocky Mount won the title in the 5.00pm game. LET"S GO HUNT win it for the conference.
Nash County American Legion Post 58 will play their first home game of the year Wednesday night at 7.00pm at Gryphon Stadium. I will be doing the PA again this year and will try to let you know tomorrow the roster of this year's team. The Legion lost a double header Sunday at Shelby after they had played in Asheboro on Saturday. Heading into Wednesday's home game they are now 2-3 but I understand head coach Hank Jones is playing everyone, 23 in all as if they are still trying out for the team and there will be a cut made by weeks end.
I have to give it to coach Jones. He don't mind riding all over the country to play anybody if that will help him prepare the team for the conference play which starts next week. Conference play determines seeding in the playoffs not your over all record, especially since they are not playing any team any where close to us. He is playing teams that he might meet in the state tournament.
Three teams from the state of North Carolina made the NCAA baseball tournament. North Carolina, State and Elon. That's right Elon not ECU, Duke or Wake but Elon. They will play in the Georgia Tech regional. State is in the Regional hosted by Coastal Carolina will play at seven Friday night and North Carolina also plays at seven but they will be in Norman Oklahoma.
The more I watch Lacrosse the more I like it. I saw a replay of Duke winning the Lacrosse championship this afternoon and I like the fast pace of Lacrosse over soccer. Sometimes in order to put the final touch on the past Duke winning the Lacrosse championship can now put to rest the Duke scandal of four years ago than rock the Duke campus, the city of Durham and the State of North Carolina. It may not have rocked the world but the news media sure did plaster it all over the world. I hope this championship can help heal the injuries the Duke players suffered four years ago from lies.
