The boys should they win twice would have a two game lead with four to play so Friday is the game of the year for this season in regular season as long as they win. A loss and others left to play after Friday become bigger. I find the comments by both Mike Gainey and Levon Brutus interesting after the Firebird game Friday. They were both disappointed that they squandered a 17 point second half lead even though they won by ten. What they didn't tell you is that Donte Battle the big man in the middle did not play and probably will not play against Northern. This team is good enough that without their big man still at some point in the game had built17 point lead. Hopefully he will be ready for Friday nights game with the Bulldogs.

The girls hosting Northern Nash on Tuesday puts this game as the game of the year. It is vital they hold serve at home because they finish at Northern the last game of the season. They stand 14-2 and their only two losses have come at the hands of Millbrook 16-1 and Northern 12-0. The girls are much better today than a month ago but they will always struggle with a
Tuesday night should have a big crowd and the girls game has all the makings of a slugfest. The winner will have the lead in conference down the back stretch but another meeting in two weeks may mean more than this one. Northern has depth and and Rocky Mount has the best player it should be a dandy.
