Unusual Spring Sports Schedule.

Easter coming as late as it possibly can in April this year is causing chaos with all spring sports schedules this year. Nash county is taking one week and Wilson county taking another for Spring break and baseball will not play any conference games during that two week break in the middle of the season. That will cause some unusual scheduling.

Rocky Mount will play Northern Nash on a Thursday night and turn around and play Hunt on Friday the last night of the regular season. Tennis and girls soccer have already started conference play while baseball and softball have another week until conference begins.

Coach K won victory #900 today as Duke escapes by Michigan to head to the Sweet 16 next weekend in Anaheim California. If Duke can make it to the Final Four K could go for the all time wins record in the Semi Final game which right now looks like it would be against Ohio State. Duke did something today that they were very lucky to get by with. They held the ball trying to run the clock out instead of attacking the basket as they normally do and it almost cost them.

Carolina was up to their old ACC Tournament tricks falling behind double digits and then coming back to win and they head to the East Regional in the airport city of Newark New Jersey. Carolina is getting no pressure what so ever on the ball and is winning because they are out scoring teams. If they don't start tightening up on defense they will never make it through next weekend.

Looking at some more of our college players and their years, Rocky Mount's Gabe Brown is playing at Wake Tech, Nash Central Softball player Tiffany Macklin is starting as a freshman for N CA&T. Northern Nash's Daniel Moore is not having quite the senior season at N C Wesleyan as he has had in other years but he is still hitting 263.

My strategy in my brackets has not been bad at all. I have had a good tournament so far. Looking at who I have to beat to move up Kansas St and UNLV were my last two picks that very few other people had. Now that I missed on those two I don't have any picks that nobody else doesn't also have. Maybe next year.
