Baseball And Rain

Rain has done it again yesterday as the Northern Nash and Nash Central game was washed out.  They will try again tonight at Nash Central.

Northern Nash has tighten the screws on Rocky Mount and second place as they beat Southern Nash on Tuesday by a 6-3 score.  This makes the Knights 4-3 in conference while Rocky Mount is 4-2.  Nash Central stands at 3-3 and you would assume that the loser falls by the wayside but with Rocky Mount still having four games to play over seven days starting Tuesday four losses could easily get second in the league.

Last night the One Voice Talent Show was postponed due to Nash County Schools getting out early because of weather concerns.  I'll let you know when it is rescheduled.

According to the Nashville Graphics Northern Nash Senior Tavis Richardson has signed  to wrestle at Gardner Webb. Tavis was on the Stretchlon Sports Show earlier this year when we featured all the local wrestlers who made All State.

We now know the location for the American Legion tryouts that we told you about last week.  North Carolina Wesleyan College will be the site at 3.00pm on May 14 and 15.  Be prepared to run a sixty yard sprint, as well as fielding, throwing, batting and pitching.  You will need to bring your own gear for what ever position you plan on trying out for.  The age limit is you can not turn 19 before or on January1, 2011.

This Sunday night on the Stretchlon Sports Show we will be featuring the All Area Players of the Year from the Rocky Mount Telegram's winter sports.  If you saw the paper last week when they featured basketball, wrestling and swimming.  Only one athlete will not be able to appear and that is Montrezl Harrell the boys basketball player.  He is playing basketball this weekend in Myrtle Beach and will not be home in time to appear.  I wish I was with him. 

Don't forget the Nash County Relay for Life Tonight at the Rocky Mount Athletic Complex.  It starts at 6.00pm
