Decision Change?

Montrezl Harrell the six seven power forward from North Edgecombe who his senior year he has played basketball at Hargrave Military Academy where Hargrave went 35-1.  This past weekend Montrezl was the MVP of the Capital Classic where All Star seniors from around the nation play the All Stars of the DC Capital area  and Montrezl score 28 points.

Monday he hears that his next year's coach has been fired at Virginia Tech and now all of a sudden maybe VATECH  might not be Harrell's next stop.  I am sure the folks in Raleigh would love to have him replace Painter who transferred to ODU.

Yesterday members of the NCHSAA voted to see whether they wanted  private schools to remain members of the association.  The reason for the vote is the possibility that schools such as Bishop Mcguiness who has won seven straight 1-A girls basketball titles and Charlotte Catholic is dominant in 3-A swimming and diving. might be breaking eligibility rules when athletes are given scholarships just to get into that school and then play sports.

Not only is this vote about private schools but what is the future of Prep schools such as Rocky Mount Prep who can take students from all over when public high schools are held to only certain areas to pull their students from.  The announcement of the results will be made May Third at the next NCHSAA meeting.  I have a feeling the private schools may get kicked out.

How about that Northern Nash Tennis team who has gone through the Big East undefeated and stand at 15-2 on the season.  We have talked about this in the past where Michael Bracket the Knights #1 player  did not play basketball to give his all to tennis and I would say it has paid off.  Northern starts the playoffs Friday traveling to Eastern Wayne who has beaten the Knight both times they played each other this year.  They won 5-4 both times.
