Jax Does It Again

Jacksonville has knocked a Big East team out of the soccer playoffs again this year as the Cardinals came to Southern Nash and dominate the Firebirds 6-1.  Southern was the last standing Nash County team still alive in any of the fall sports and now with only football left all Nash County teams can look toward winter sports.

Speaking of winter sports Rocky Mount hosted a basketball jamboree today with West Craven, Hunt, Hertford County, Bertie and Southern Wayne.  It started this morning at 9am and went well past dark 30.

Up next for the Hunt Warriors is Cleveland who last night manhandled D H Conley.  The game will be played at Hunt.

Tarboro thought they would get Edenton again this year in the third round but surprise surprise Northeastern walloped the Aces last night  and they will make the trek to Tarboro next Friday.

There is an old saying about going to a hockey match and a fight broke out.  Today if you went to Chapel Hill to see a football game a basketball game broke out.  Georgia Tech made too many three pointers for Carolina as they win a football game 68-50.  Larry Fedora wants to get as many offensive opportunities as possible.  There is only one problem with that idea, the faster they go on offense the quicker the defense gets back on the field. 

N C State showed up from the first snap today against Wake Forest and becomes Bowl eligible.  I am hearing the Music City Bowl in Nashville might be the after Christmas trip for the Pack this year.

Virginia made last weeks win over State stick as they beat Miami in another slow down basketball game 41-40.  Duke is still alive for the ACC Championship game with Miami's loss.

There just might be a BCS Championship game without a Southeastern Conference team as Alabama goes down at home to Texas A&M  29-24.  Bama at one time trailed 20 to nothing.  Just goes to prove you had better be ready to play when you get off the bus.
