The news is not quite as good for the Little league 12U team from Rocky Mount as they lost their 10.00am game Friday morning and played Shelby in a losers bracket game at 2.00pm Friday and won that game 7-1. They now must play at noon Saturday against Williamston and if they win that meet the loser of the winner's bracket game which will also be at noon Saturday. If they can win twice Saturday they would be down to the top two teams and they would have to win twice Sunday to win state title.
Just to show you the difference in a losers bracket compared to being undefeated all the way in an eight team tournament. The Rocky Mount Midgets if they were to go undefeated in this tournament they can win the title in four games. The Rocky Mount Little League team will have to play a total of seven games to win the title. Big advantage to the winners bracket team as they can save pitching while in the losers bracket you can't save any pitching for the next game cause there just might not be one.
Like to say congratulations to Greg Clifton who was named the new head baseball coach at Faith Christian School this week. I have head the pleasure to know Greg and his family as their daughter is in the Tar River Childrens Chorus along with Morgan. I think this is a good hire for Faith as they try to replace Joe Morrow.
I have scoured the internet and can not find any evidence where any NFL team has signed Terrell Hudgins, Stephan Virgil or JJ Arrington. All three are free agents and can be picked up by any team that invites them to camp. Travis Cobb the 2005 Gryphon graduate has signed a free agent deal with the Chicago Bears and as a 2010 Receiver/ kick specialist for University of Arizona I think Travis has an excellent chance of making the team. Any time you can do more than one thing like be a receiver or kick returner and you are good at it he just might make the Bears despite having Devin Hester as their kick returner.
I reported yesterday than Greenville was playing for the Williamsport Little League State title Friday night and they beat Kernersville 7-1 to earn a trip to the Southeastern Regional with a 7-1 victory.
