The Big East is off to a better start this year in the Volley ball playoffs over last year when the league went 0-4 in the opening round. Rocky Mount opened the playoffs Friday losing at D H Conley but the sun came up on Saturday and the big East finally got a win when Northern Nash traveled to Currituck and the Knights were able to win 3-0. Northern the Big East #3 will advance to round two.
Over in Wilson County Hunt and Fike hosted opening round playoff games and the Big East #2 Hunt lost a five setter to Jacksonville 3-2 while the top Big East team Fike was winning a five setter to Washington.
Other than having rival games the final football game of the season the playoff teams from the Big East are set, we just don't know their order completely. Hunt can go for another perfect season has the #1 seed win or lose against against Fike.
Southern Nash if they beat Nash Central will get the #2 seed but should they lose and if Rocky Mount and Fike win then there is a three way tie for second. Southern can solve everything by winning. Southern gets second regardless of what they do and what happens at Rocky Mount if Fike loses which would eliminate any possible three way tie scenerio
Rocky Mount can get third by beating Northern Nash but Rocky Mount has not scored on Northern in the last two meetings in fact their last score Northern folks will tell you they didn't get that one in that last second win at Northern three years ago.
Fike has the longest shot of anybody moving up as they not only play the undefeated Warriors of Hunt but must count on both Southern and Rocky Mount to lose in order to move higher than fourth a loss and all they can get is fourth.
You know they say the pigskin is not round like a basketball and because of that sometime odd things happen with a football like a kicker hooks the ball right into a goal post saving N C State from a sure loss. Then a ball rolling around on the ground for almost 25 yards gave Carolina what .they thought was a win at Duke. How Bout those Devils BOWL Bound.
