Fellowship Of Christian Athletes

Last night a group of around 25 Rocky Mount High School athletes met and formed a chapter of the Fellowship Of Christian Athletes. Benton Moss was voted on to be it's president.

We hear and see every day what is wrong with our youth and society in general and it is nice to see that there are those that care about our world more than what can our world do for me. There is hope for all of us yet.

Back during football season we talked about the balance of the league of the Big East and how even everyone was. Don't look now but the boys basketball can be said the same. Everyone in the league has lost at least one as they begin the second trip around. Most have only played four games with all the weather delays and at some point in time they will have a three conference game weekfor most.

Tonight two of those once beaten teams collide as Rocky Mount travels to Nash Central. Central has not lost since they lost the first conference game of the year at Rocky Mount.

This NFL labor talks stuff is really funny listening to each side talking their talk which of course is just positioning themselves for that final hour push to get an agreement. If you are the biggest sport around there is no way either side can afford to strike or lock their gates to keep the other side out. Our national economy is just not in a position where every day Joe wants to hear a bunch of millionaires fuss with Billionaires about how tough life is.

The world is in Raleigh starting today at the NHL All Star weekend is in town. This year they are going to have a draft and pick sides tonight for who will be on what team. I think this is a good idea. It is kind of like back yard ball where you pick two captains and they start picking who they want on their team. Most of the time you wind up with a pretty balanced team on both sides.
