All Out Playoffs

Baseball begins the playoffs on Friday and once again the NCHSAA is going with one game the first week, two the second, the fourth round early in week three and the Regional Finals two out of three by the end of the third weekend.  It is possible that the four teams that make the Regional will have to play four games that week.

Why can't we have the first two rounds this upcoming week. Rounds three and four the second week and only have the four teams left play a two out of three the third week and another two out of three for the State Championship.  Four games in a week and nobody can possibly put a decent pitcher on the mound for the fourth game unless he has already pitched during the week.  There is no safety factor there over using pitcher.

Hunt will represent  the Big East as the first seed.  Nash Central will get a home game as the number two. Northern Nash and Southern Nash will have to play every game on the road starting with the first through the fourth game.  If either makes it to the regional then they would get one game at home.

Softball will send four to the playoffs with Nash Central as the first seed and Southern Nash as the number two getting at least one home game.  Northern Nash and Hunt as three and four seeds will be on the road.

Soccer begins this week on Tuesday and Rocky Mount and Fike will be home as the top teams in the Big East.  Hunt and Northern Nash are gassing up the buses for road trips on Tuesday.

Tonight on the All New Sports Show on WHIG TV you can see the replay of the Hunt-Nash central baseball game played for the Big East crown at 8PM.  Edward Green will be doing the play by play in tonight's game.  We are planning right now to cover next Friday's home game for Faith Christian as they open play in their playoffs in baseball.
