More Bad News

How much more bad news can the University of North Carolina take.  They are trying to get through a what started to be a football issue and during the investigation it effected baseball ever so slightly but for the most part basketball has not been involved in all the goings on in Chapel Hill.

Now today the announcement that Roy Williams under went surgery to remove a growth on one kidney and just may need to have surgery on the other for possibly the same thing.  Lab results are pending on how severe this is.   This is about as shocking  and out of no where like the day Dean Smith retired.  Nobody saw this coming.  If there is one institution that needs good news right now that that would be the Tar Heel nation.  I hope I can speak for everyone when I say this regardless of whether you or Democrat or Republican or should I say Blue Devil or Wolfpack fan I hope you will join me in praying  that God's will, will be done and  if we all pray together united together the Lord will see fit to Heal Roy Williams.

Face Book was alive with the results of the Northern/Rocky Mount volleyball game last night played at Northern.  In all the years I have watched volleyball this year's Rocky Mount team is the shortest team they I think have ever fielded and yet they beat Northern 3-0.  I was totally shocked at the score.

Tab Wilcox is in her fourth year at the helm of Rocky Mount and this is by far her best coaching effort.  They are right at 500 on the season but with the win last night are 3-2 in Big East play and with their size this year you would  almost think four wins just might be a good year.

Volleyball is a game of angles and the best angle is slamming that ball down somebody's throat on the other side of the net.  Rocky Mount simply doesn't have the size, yes this has always been a Rocky Mount problem but it is even worse because of their size this year.  They have nobody  who when they go for a kill can slam the ball down on the other team and yet they are doing a very nice job.

This Friday and Saturday Pat and I will be at Campbell as they will be playing their first home games of the season Friday night.  Campbell starts a front line of six feet to six one across the net.  When they play the likes of other teams taller if you play the back line you had better be ready when some of those girls spike the ball over the net.  If you blink as they hit that ball at 100 mph you can get a bloody nose if you are not ready.
