This Computer World

Sorry that I missed Saturday but when your computer can't find how to come on there is moments in life that you would just love to throw a computer in the river.  I know with all the people in the Northeast that are still without power this is minor item in the realm of life.

Northern Nash Cross Country team finished 15th in the team portion of the State Cross Country Championships held yesterday in Kernersville.  Southern Nash's Neopolian Patel was the top local runner finishing 48th and Gryphon Mason Holt was 61st. 

It helps runners out west to train year round in the hills  over those of us who live east of I-95 where the biggest hill in running through a ditch.  Eastern Runners normally run about thirty seconds slower when ever the championships are west of I-85 because of the rolling hills.

Fike girls finished 15th and Nash Central's Michaela Williams finished 38th to take the top honor for our local runners.

Heart break for the Nash Central girls tennis team who loses to Charlotte Catholic 5-3 in the state championship.  Here we go again with those professional amateurs winning another state title.  So far this fall all team titles have been won by either Cardinal Gibbons or Charlotte Catholic.  Why doesn't the state make private schools play at the 4-a level to give public schools who play with kids from their living district have a chance to win a title?

Southern Nash has advanced to the third round of the of the soccer playoffs with a 3-2 win on Saturday.

Despite how frustrated I was trying to get my computer on last night I was using the flipper on the tv and came across MLB Network who last night had a live baseball game from the Arizona Fall League and it was the All Star game featuring all the rising baseball players who played this fall.  The first batter for the East team was Rocky Mount High former gryphon Brian Goodwin and he proceeded to send one over the fence for a home run.

After a strike out Brian's third at bat he sent the center fielder to the wall in center field as he hit one about 400 feet only to have it caught.  The 7th Brian doubled off the wall driving in a run and he later scored.  Not a bad all star game 2-5 a home run two rbi and two runs scored.
