There Is Something Wrong With The Schedule

I must be old fashion but we are on the verge of the second week of high school football.  Soccer, Tennis, Volleyball and Cross Country have all had two or more matches and yet school has not started for the year.  To me there is something morally wrong with that idea.

Back when Morgan attended Winstead Ave Elementary they were on the year round schedule.  Like every thing that works with the government it is very hard to do anything halfway.  If you have a child in year round and another child in regular your life is pure torture.  In order to get the entire system in  year round you would need to put all schools year round not just a few. My point being year round would solve athletic scheduling problems especially basketball having to wait for football playoffs top end.  I loved the year round schedule.  Of course we only had one child in it not three or four.  Most folks who have several children in both hated year round and I can see why, if you have one in each.

Wednesday there was an eight team cross country event held and Southern Nash, Northern Nash and Rocky Mount finished 1-2-3.

N C State basketball has offered a basketball scholarship to a player that will not graduate high school until 2015.  Good Lord, pretty soon before a kid can decide what elementary school he should attend he's going to have to declare for college.  By the way this kid is almost seven feet tall and right now is a five star prospect.  You got to do what you got to do to land a good player.  Has any body besides N C State fans noticed but now every basketball recruit in the country when he list his choices includes the Wolfpack.  Mark Godfried  has only been there one year and he has already put to rest State can't recruit with Duke and Carolina.

Northern Nash Volleyball swept South West Edgecombe 3-zip this week and Beddingfield 3-1.  They lost to Conley 3-1.  Once again they were very competitive with Conley.

Former Nash Central baseball player Alex Pearce  who was the UNC Pembroke pitcher of the year is spring is student teaching this fall in Lumberton.  He will return to Pembroke where he will enter graduate school in January and be a Grad assistant on the baseball team in 2013.  Nice going Alex.
