Falls Road Wins Soccer Title

It seemed to take fore ever but the girls of Falls Road won in overtime 2-1 today to win the the NCCSA Girls soccer title.  It took more than twenty extra minutes before Falls Roads beat Sheets Memorial.

Rocky Mount boys finished second in the East Regional held in Swansboro.  Paul Lilly won two events  the 1600 and 3200.  The Rocky Mount girls took home third spot.

Got some  unfinished business to finish up.  Girls softball action was a mixed bag in the opening round.  Nash Central lived to play another day with a 7-5 victory over Cleveland.  Fike as the #4 from the Big East went to Currituck and won 2-1.  The losers in round one were Southern Nash losing to Washington 12- 1 at home while on the road Northern Nash lost to South Johnston 12-2.

Nash Central has a home game Tuesday against Havelock at 7PM.  Havelock is 20-4 on the year.  Fike will travel to C B Aycock Tuesday.

The Big East was perfect in the opening round of the soccer but not so in round two.  Rocky Mount lost 2-1 to White Oak.  Fike lost 3-0 to Jacksonville and Washington beat Northern Nash 5-1.  Do you see a trend all three of those losses were to Coastal Teams.  Hunt played Saturday night and I have not heard that score.

There is only one baseball team left and that is Hunt and they play in round two  Tuesday at 7PM against South Central.

Today Post 58 held their try outs for the 2012 Coleman Pitt Post 58 team.  I hope we can tell you the roster sometimes next week when it is finalized.  First game is May 23rd.

Next Saturday is the alumni game  at Gryphon Stadium as the final high school game to be played there.  This summer it will be home to Post 58 Senior Legion and Junior Legion as well as some Babe Ruth games.
