Most games Moving To Thursday

Hurricane Irene is expected to pay the North Carolina Coast a visit by mid day Saturday and many high schools in the area are moving their games to Thursday in order to make sure everyone has an opportunity to hunker down and be ready for what ever may come our way.

Rocky Mount travels to Bertie for a 7.30 kickoff.  The game can be heard on 99.3. as Paul Andre the 99.3 Play by play man for the game of the week is heading to his old stomping grounds to call the action.  Those folks back at Bertie remember him on the field for the Falcons in the mid 80's and everyone knew him as Paul Cherry.

Beddingfield fresh off their Monday night win over Northern Nash comes back over to Nash County to take on Southern Nash game time is 7pm.  The Firebirds were not very polite to SouthWest Edgecombe last Friday and they have every intention to being rude to the Bruins.  Here is an early chance to compare both Southern and Northern as each will have played Beddingfield within 72 hours of each other.

Northern Nash had their feelings hurt Monday night and not a lot of time to figure out what to do different. They travel to Southern Wayne in Dudley for a 7pm kickoff.  Any team who lost on Monday and is turning around and playing on Thursday has not had much time to recover physically or emotionally.

You know there are times when teams have long winning streaks  and when they finally lose a game they lose two.  Tarboro had several players who played both sides of the ball Monday night against Nash Central and the Bulldogs had beaten the Vikings down by the end.  I doubt Washington can make it two in a row for Tarboro as the Vikes travel there tonight for a 7pm boot.  This is all I have heard about at this point.

Rocky Mount JV's shut out the Falcons last night 26-0.  RM soccer shut out Conley 2-zip.  Volleyball is on the road Thursday afternoon  at SWE.  Broughton tangles with RM soccer today.  Soccer was schedule to play in the Brittany Soccer tournament in Wilson  Saturday but that has been cancelled by Irene.

Sad news to talk about as Tennessee Women's basketball coach Pat Summitt has been diagnosed with early stages of Dementia.  She plans on continuing to coach.  Having had a family member live out her last couple of years in our home with Dementia what will Tennessee do when while flying to say Florida for a basketball game Summitt when having a spell decides she is going to walk home because she thinks her house is just around the corner.  We in our family found out you don't win arguments with someone that is having a Dementia spell.  It will be hard at 35 thousand feet to convince her she can't just walk out the plane and walk home.
