I know the Nash County 13 year old Babe Ruth boys lost twice in the State tournament to Greenville's Babe Ruth Team. It is no shame to lose to a good team.

Last night I turned on the Olympics for the first time and the only thing on was the synchronized diving and my first thought was find something else to watch.
