Rocky Mount American Legion Post 58 finished up their regular season Monday on the road at Wayne County. The game played at Mt Olive College saw Wayne County win 3-1. last night's game had no bearing on the playoffs and with the lost Post 58 finishes at 15-5 on the season.
They open the playoffs next Monday night at Gryphon Stadium with a best three of five series with New Bern. New Bern is seeded number four from the southern division of of area one. Post 58 weather permitting and if the games are necessary Post 58 would be home for game one on July 5th.7th and 9th. They would go to New Bern on the on the 6th and 8th. If they win the three of five series there is still two more series just to win the area before earning a right to go to the State Tournament.
Joe Bell's senior little league team was beaten by Raleigh 1-0 in the prep tournament in Smithfield. I believe the Rocky Mount American Midget team beat the Rocky Mount National team last night in Smithfield to win the Midget prep tournament.
North Carolina State has a new Chancellor in place and last week he named Debbie Yow as the new athletic director for the Wolfpack. This has gotten the hair up on the back of the neck of a few folks who pull for the Wolfpack. There was strong support for Bobby Purcell the director of the Wolfpack Club to be the AD.
I can't see at this time where this isn't a great hire by State. Purcell has the Wolfpack Club as the number one club per win in the big three sports per dollar raised. Keep Purcells right where he is raising money. The last fifteen years at Maryland I think the Wolfpack nation would trade their fifteen years for theirs and Yow has been their leader during that time.
