It's Down To Four

Day four of the North Carolina American Legion State Baseball Tournament being held in Lenoir will feature only four teams when Saturday's double header gets started.  Wilmington Post 10 beat Cherryville last night in the winners bracket game and in doing so becomes the only team left that still stands undefeated.

Post 10 took out High Point in game one followed that up with a Thursday victory over the host team Caldwell County.  Wilmington will meet in the 7PM game tonight Caldwell County again.  Don't hold me to this but in most tournaments that do not let the undefeated team sit out but must continue to play Wilmington is automatically in the Finals at 3PM or 7PM Sunday regardless of their outcome with Caldwell County tonight.

The 3PM game today will have Area one Pitt County who after being embarrassed in game one with the ten run rule has come back and is still alive after beating ing High Point and last night Knocking Whiteville out 6-5.  Cherryville who just last night played in the winners bracket game against Wilmington now must survive to play Sunday.  So it is Wilmington still has to lose twice while Caldwell County, Pitt County and Cherryville are hanging  on. Cherryville is the defending State Champions.

Sunday night on the All New Sports Show they will begin about three weeks of featuring the upcoming high school football season.  That's 8PM Sunday night on WHIG-TV

Paul Andre with First Media radio told me about two months ago that First Media Radio is going to have one of their other stations this year feature the Wilson County Schools on Friday night and another feature Nash County. As soon as I know for sure which station is doing which County I will pass it along.

The Olympics are a week old now and I still wonder how Beach Volleyball is an Olympic Sport.  Sure seems to me that the only time that should be in the Olympics is when the host Country is on the sea shore where there would be a beach.  Hauling in sand and calling it Beach Volleyball just doesn't sit right with me.
