School Year Is All But Over

Those who have to, today is retest day so the only high schoolers going to school today are those students sweating the results of today's test to pass their subjects.

Last night covered the Legion game for the Stretchlon Sports Show. I'm not sure whether TV can give you the feel that permeates a stadium when two team play a game with playoff implications. Rocky Mount and Wilson both knew from the playoffs last year that last night was a hugh game and you could feel it in the air. The game lived up to the feel.

Thursday night is the Rocky Mount recreation Midgett league championship game as Peyton on camera and I will there there at 5.30pm to cover it for the Stretchlon show. Now with high school sports through for this year legion and summer baseball takes over.

I am trying to get information on local players playing summer ball. Understand several locals are playing in a wooden bat league and Rocky Mount has a team and they play at home Sunday. Between now and then hope to give you some of the players.

The ACC will send four teams to the super regionals this weekend in college baseball. Virginia, Clemson, Forida State and Miami will play at least another weekend. If any of them win the two out of three series that each will be in then it is on to the college world series.

Lakers whip Boston in Boston last night to take a 2-1 in the NBA finals. That's a big MO changer after Boston had taken game two in LA.

Tonight could end the hockey season as the Chicago Blackhawks try to win their fourth game against Philadelphia two wins. Chicago has not won the Stanley Cup since 1961. One of the orginal franchises of the NHL has seen the Carolina Hurricanes win a cup since they have.

North Carolina pitcher Matt Harvey was the 7th player picked in this years baseball draft. Russell Wilson the N C State quarterback who was only a part time baseball player was drafted in the 4th round and that will be enough money to see if he really wants to quarterback the Wolfpack next fall.
