OH No Not Basketball TOO!

The North Carolina High school Athletic Association announced on Friday that they will seed the basketball playoffs in the Pod system just like football.  That means that we may have a first round say Southern Nash -Rocky Mount game or a second round Nash Central -Rocky Mount just like we had in football when the Big East top two teams met in the second round.  I know this is done with the idea of saving on travel but give me a break do we need the Big East basketball Tournament two weeks in a row?

Rocky Mount boys have clinched first place in the Big East with a 100-52 win at Fike.  They have earned the #1 seed in the Big East Tournament.  The girls were also winners and hold on to first with a game lead over Northern with two games to play and the season finale at Northern Looming.  Rocky Mount will observe senior night Tuesday night which will be the final regular season home game. 

Tonight Northern Nash girls kept pace with Rocky Mount winning at Nash Central 52-34.  During the game there was moment  on the court where two players made head to head contact and Shakyra Mercer from Northern required a trip to the hospital.  The game was delayed more than an hour waiting on a rescue unit to get to the scene and transport her.

Saturday at Northern Nash it will be the first step for each individual wrestler as the conference championships will be held all day.  Depending on how well you finish within you weight class will determine  if you qualify for the Regional.  Action starts at 10am and will go on all day. The Big East sent several to the State Championships last year and a bad day on Saturday could end some of those guys getting back if they never get started.

Don't forget the Envy-us Step competition going on at Rocky Mount High School starting at 4pm Saturday.
