Big East Soccer/Tennis Undefeated

Last week the two teams representing the Big East in Tennis won their opening round matches  and the second round looked a lot like the first as Northern Nash traveled to South Brunwick and to say the least the match was short and sweet.  Northern Skunked SB 6-0.  They will finally get a home match Monday when they host conference foe Fike who beat C B Aycock 6-3 at Aycock. Match time is set for 4PM

Turning to girls soccer where we were not able to get on the website last night to find out anything about any scores but  the scores are all good for the Big East.  Rocky Mount of course beat Eastern Wayne 6-1 and will now face White Oak who was an 11-0 winner over Hertford County.  Hertford County went into that match 1-13 so the score was about what it should have been.  White Oak will bring a 17-2-2 record to Rocky Mount Thursday at 5PM.Rocky Mount's record is not to shabby either at 19-2-2.  This will be a big time second round match.

#2 Fike beat  Havelock 3-0 but now have the task of going to Jacksonville to take on the Cardinals.  Northern Nash a 2-1 over time winner of Currituck will get a home match in the second round hosting Washington.  Hunt has also won a home game after their 3-0 win over Cleveland.  They will host West Carteret.  Now I can't tell you for sure when anyone else plays as all second round games have to be completed by the end of Saturday.  All I know for sure is Rocky Mount host Jacksonville White Oak Thursday at 5pm and White Oak knocked the Lady Gryphons out last year. If you pull for any of these schools I would advise calling the school tomorrow to find out when they play their second round matches.

Softball starts Friday just like baseball and here is the schedule.  #4 Fike travels to Currituck. #3 Northern Nash makes a visit to South Johnston.  #2 Southern Nash will host Washington and the #1seed Nash Central has a home game against Cleveland.  Let's hope the conference can sweep like soccer and tennis.

Baseball after a week off since the tournament will finally see action Friday. #4seed Southern Nash will hit the road traveling to Currituck.  # 3 Northern Nash likewise hitting the highway travels to Southern Wayne.  Hunt as the #1 seed will be hosting  North Lenoir.  I think it is safe to say this but I believe for the first time ever Nash Central will host a playoff game and at the same time softball will be home up the hill from the baseball game.

The Big East had a great record against other teams in the playoffs in football.  The two best girls teams in basketball met in the sectional finals while Rocky Mount took the basketball title.  The Big East spring playoff start so far this year just very well prove that the Big East is the overall best sports conference in state.Softball and baseball can join the fun.  The regional track and field is this weekend and Rocky Mount boys are the favorite in the Regional in Swansboro.
