Washed Out

Tonight's Legion game between Post 39 from Greenville and Post 58 from Rocky Mount was rained out by a cloud that just would not go away. Radar showed clear just on the out skirts of Rocky Mount but the cloud kept building and building. It was never a heavy rain but after about and hour and a half the short stop area began to look like a mud hole.

Sometimes you can be so close to something you can't see it because it is so close. Tonight's game will probably not be made up because this is a non-conference game and now that the league play has started, a non-conference game messes with you pitching set up for conference games.

I have told you on this web site that Greenville is in our conference but they are not. I could not figure out why we play four of the five league members three times and Greenville only twice. Now I know.

Post 58 is back in action Thursday with a trip to Greenville and Post 39. 39 coming in tonight's game was 10-1 on the season. Winterville no longer has a Legion team so all of the Pitt county schools are back with Post 39 the way it use to be.

Rocky Mount Gryphon Benton Moss was named pitcher of the year in the Big East Conference. Boy what a surprise that is! Moss leads a contingent of four Gryphons who made the all conference team. Collins Cuthrell Thomas Berry and Hobbs Johnson.

This tid bit of information comes from Charles Alston and this is hard to believe but true. Thomas Berry had 16 hits on the season. Ten home runs and six singles. Not one double or triple

Mathew Berry and Spencer Bell were second team and Michael Whitehead was honorable mention all conference.

T J Taylor from Nash Central was the only other Nash County player who made all conference.

Rumors have been flying around about all these Super Conferences in college football and Texas kind of spoiled the party for everyone. they are staying put in the Big Twelve. The dust may not be settled yet if Notre Dame makes a move but with no Super Conference being formed the pressure is not really on Notre Dame any more to join a conference.

The Pac 16 will only be twelve with only Colorado and Utah joining. The P-12 just knew with Texas coming they were going to be THE conference in football. In the end they got the worse two teams of the six they thought they were going to get.
