Legion Wins Again

Tonight Coleman-Pitt Post 58 ran past Wilson Post 13 for the second time in a week winning tonight at home 9-3. This makes 58 2-0 in conference play and 7-3 and sets up a showdown Wednesday night at Gryphon Stadium against Pitt County Post 39.

I have had a Monday of all Mondays today and missed the game tonight due to car trouble. To make a long story short I had my gold Chevy Luv pickup in the shop and my wife Pat's car is what I have been driving to work with my truck in shop. As I left work today around 4.00pm My Ignition system would not allow my key to go into the key hole and it was after seven before I had any vehicle rolling. What a Day this has been.

Congratulation to Collins Cuthrell who early last week signed with Barton College to play baseball. Collins had been looking for any school that would allow him to play football and baseball and it looked as if Methodist in Fayetteville was going to be that school. I think baseball in college Collins will do real well probably at third base. He has surely over the past two years in high school and now a summer an a half of Legion proven that he can play in college any where.

Charles Alston is reporting on the Rocky Mount high web site that Former Gryphon Brian Goodwin has made the Louisville Slugger freshman All American team. Brian led Carolina in Rbi's this season and tied the school record for most triples in a season.

The ACC will send two teams to the College World Series this weekend and Clemson joined Florida State today. Virginia unless they score a dozens runs in the bottom of the ninth will get white washed by Oklahoma.

Finally some sanity comes to college football. Texas and Oklahoma have decided to stay put in the Big Twelve conference. This means that Nebraska and Colorado are the only two teams to jump ship. This leaves Notre Dame as what I feel is having to make a decision about joining a football conference. If the major conferences continue to line up in even bigger super conferences they are going to tell Notre Dame sorry but you are not in our playoff format.

After all the hoopla about the Big Twelve dissolving wouldn't it be something if the Irish joined the Big 12. Wouldn't that be a slap at the Big ten if that happened.
