Look Who's On Top

They just may have played the toughest non conference football schedule of anybody in the area and even though the results then were not good then that tough schedule is paying off  now for SouthWest Edgecombe.  Last night they beat Farmville Central 38-14 to take the lead in the Eastern Plains 2-A conference lead with a 2-0 record.

Buoyed by all of the public schools in Nash County being off last night there was a big crowd on hand watching RMA host Lawrence Academy.  After scoring 76 last week people got to see a few more points than last week as Lawrence won almost all the stats except the main one the score board as RMA win two in a row for the first time in umpteen years as they take out Lawrence 81-52.

I understand there was a moment when the crowd fell hush as another Eagle  player had to be carried to the hospital last night.  You know those that root for the Eagles still have that spot in their heart over the injury to Cole Brake that will last a life time to those folks.  Hope to pass along good news soon.

After being on the road for their first 15 matches of the season Campbell played their first home games this weekend and Pat and I became part of the  Camel Crazies at their volleyball game last night.  They lost but today won twice.  They are now 7-11 on the season.

Last year N C State's women's Tri team didn't have enough to qualify as a team any time any of the girls ran in any races.  Today the State women not only had enough runners to run as a team but they won their first race ever running in Wilmington.  The Pack Guys finished second.  That guy coaching the Tri team at State what's his named must be doing a pretty good job.  Brooks Doughtie!

If you haven't seen this video yet you have just got to see it.  Have you seen this soccer game with a player with one leg that plays with crutches.  There is a high light of him doing a reversal and scoring a goal.  I saw it Saturday morning on WRAL  Sports so they probably have in their video file but may be You Tube.  You just got to see it.  This kid is faster on crutches than I was in my prime back in the day when I thought I could play ball.
