Nash Central Advances To East Final

The Lady Bulldog tennis team today kept their undefeated season going beating  Big East Rival Rocky Mount 5-2 to win the sectional and advance Wednesday to meet Cardinal Gibbons of Raleigh at Gibbons.  The winner of that match plays for the State Title Saturday against the winner of the Asheville-Charlotte Catholic match  which will also be played tomorrow.

The Lady Bulldogs now 18-0 will meet a Cardinal Gibbons team which will enter the match 22-5.  They beat Burlington Williams on Monday who started the match 17-1 on the season but Gibbons won 6-0.  Charlotte Catholic 19-2 host Asheville 18-3.

The boys soccer brackets have been released and the four Big East teams that made the playoffs get the soccer championships started Wednesday.  Hunt #1 in the Big East and 21-0 on the season host the #3 seed from the Eastern Carolina C B Aycock who comes in 11-7.  Southern Nash 10-8 carrying the Big East banner as the #2 seed host #3 from the Coastal  Conference White Oak 12-8 from Jacksonville .  Fike 12-7-1 the Big East #3 heads to North Lenoir who is the #2 in the Eastern Carolina and has a stout 18-2-1 record the # 4 in the Big east Rocky Mount 7-10-5 heads to Currituck to take on the #1 seed from the Northeast Coastal 10-4-1.

This is a long shot but the way the brackets fall for the Big East if all four teams win to the third round they would be matched up with each other in the third and of course the two winners in the third round would meet in the fourth round.  If the brackets can be done like that in soccer why can't football do the same?

Ok it's time to brag a little.  Last week daughter Morgan tried out for Nash County's Got Talent and has made the top 20.  They all will be doing their talents Thursday night at the Nash Arts Center in Nashville.  The top 20 go at it Thursday and they all come back Friday night and they whittle down to the top ten and they go at it gain.  There is a $1,000 first prize and since the State government has done away with the Teachers Fellows Program that might pay for one book next year in college.
