RMA Plays For The Title

The junior varsity baby Eagles of RMA will play for the Independent State Championship for jv teams Thursday at 6pm at RMA.  The 9-0 Eagles will host St David of Raleigh.

It doesn't matter what level it is when you play for all the marbles but the fact they will be giving away a trophy  there is history in the trophy case and the RMA shoots for the gold.  Things are really looking up for the Eagles after having one of their best varsity  teams in years  and help is on the way from the jv team.  I think I saw somewhere that they only lose one player off the varsity team and that is a big hole in Adam Bayless.

The third round of the 3-A tennis duels are Wednesday as Nash Central will be hosting.  You had better bring your long johns if you plan on attending.

The fourth round of the volley ball  is this week with D H Conley the team that beat both Rocky Mount and Fike will be playing that professional amateur team Cardinal Gibbons.

Southern Nash will be starting their quest for the state soccer title as the opening round is this week.

Still can't figure out this POD system with Southern Nash the #2 from the Big East facing the #1 from the Big East Hunt.  I can't understand why in the 2-A bracket they were  rated 1-16 with Tarboro getting the #1 seed and Beddingfield the #16 and yet in the 3-AA Hunt is seeded 3rd and Southern 6th.  Three against six should be a second round game.

I understand why Fike did not get in as the Big East #4 since they did not win the required four games.  Sure does look like the people who put the brackets together said we are not going to let the Big East have a team in the East Regional final for what 7th year in a row.  Either Hunt or Southern will have be get by that pro amateur team Cardinal Gibbons 10-0  and Cleveland 9-1 to make it this year.  The road for the Big East back to the Regional will be about as  hard to drive on as the beach road in Nags Head is now after Sandy past through.

It is almost basketball time and for the defending 3-A Champs Rocky Mount they have a decent nucleus coming back.  The problem most of the team plays football so  when practice cranks up most will still be doing something else.  I am hearing that Rocky Mount  just might have one of the best wrestling teams around this year too.
