Post 10 Win Legion Title

Wilmington Post 10 completed an undefeated State American Legion Baseball tournament beating the defending champions  Cherryville Sunday by an 11-1 in eight innings

Pitt County was knocked out Saturday night by P10 after dumping PC 20-8.  Pitt County's two losses were double digits while their three wins were all by one run. Cherryville eliminated the host team Caldwell County Saturday night 5-1 getting their shot Sunday to repeat as State Champions but in order to do that Post 10 had to be beaten twice Sunday.  Post 10 finished it off in the first game.  They now head to the Southeast Regional in South Carolina.

The thing that makes the Olympic so special is people perform well beyond what you or I can do and every four years we watch people just like us make good.  The London Olympics are quickly becoming the Olympics of the Blade Runner.  If you don't know who I am talking about you are missing out on a special story in this year's Olympics.  Oscar Pisorius or the fastest man with no legs  has shot past Michael Phelps and has become the story of the second week of the London Olympics.

Born with a birth defect which found him with no fibula in either leg he had both legs amputated at 11 months old below the knees.  Scientist for MIT have created these carbon fiber springs and with it a world class runner was made.  You will find most military amputees have these type artificial legs installed after returning from war.  If you haven't been paying attention this story is worth watching the Olympics.

Cousin Lauren Doughtie had another good weekend on the Futures Tour as she has finished 17th this week shooting a three round score of 211 after last week finishing 14th shooting 210.  Despite the good finish she fell to 9th on the money earnings list.

Lauren has finally hit what we have all been waiting for finding that consistency that keeps her up front every week.  This is her third full year and in the past she would  have a 72 and follow it up with a 76/77 and those kind of scores don't make the cut enough.  She is the tour leader in Eagles having carded a three on a par 5 for the third time this weekend.  There are still eight tournaments left before the top ten win their cards to the LPGA tour in 2013.   If she can be as consistence these last weeks as she had been over the last month in a half  she has a real shot.  I think we all know on every tour players go through hot periods where they can't do wrong and then times when they just can't find the rhythm to stay up front.   We are pulling hard for her.
