Friday Night Football In Jeopardy

I am seeing on Facebook and Twitter from Gryphon football players that Friday night's football game with Hertford County has been cancelled.  Nash County schools are out for another day today and I am not sure Thursday will be a school day either.  Just as soon as I can find out whether this game is off or postponed I'll let you know.

It's getting down to the end of the New York Penn League season and Nash Central's Xavier Macklin batting average is hovering around 232.  His playing time has gone down since his batting average has been sliding. Expect him in winter ball in Florida.

I see on the Washington Redskins website that Shaun Draughn is still a Redskin.  He also has a number change  to #38.  I would think that is a good sign for Shaun  as I can see no reason to change his number and then cut him.

.  Finally we can get to see something on the sports on TV that is not related to and NCAA investigation.  Thursday night starts the 2011 college football season.  The folks in Chapel Hill should thank their lucky stars for the Miami Hurricanes.  Miami has wiped all of Carolina investigation clean off the news.  Just about everyone of our division one teams in our area play before the weekend is over.

Most folks would tell you that the Southeastern conference is the conference that would cheat at all cost.  It is easy to point to the Cam Newton investigation at Auburn as Auburn has a national championship under it's belt and now waits on any sanctions by the NCAA.  There is one thing the Southeastern conference does better than the ACC.  When they cheat they win.  Georgia Tech, Carolina  and Miami have no trophies to show for any of the sanctions heading their way.
