Ask The Question Somebody Knows

A couple of days ago I lamented on the fact that I had no idea what the standings were in the Area 1 American Legion.  Seek and ye shall find.  Here is the standing as of the end of Tuesday night.
Rocky Mount      5-1
Wayne County    5-3
Kinston               4-3
Edenton              4-3
Windsor             4-4
Pitt County         3-5
Albemarle          3-5
Wilson               3-8

There is no doubt all you need to do is substitute names of the Big East teams from the high school season and you will see that every team is right there in the middle.  Post 58 has two double headers up and coming this week.  Saturday they host Edenton.  Just suppose they were to lose both games.  They would fall back into the middle of the pack real quick.

Next week they have two games with Albemarle.  One that is already tied in the eighth inning and could lose that game in the twink of an eye.  So even though they look nice sitting on top there is work to be done.  The first order of business is a game tonight at Wayne County at Mt Olive College.  Talk about huge games but this one is.  Friday night Wilson  is at Legion Field and then a double header Saturday with Edenton.  The weather forecast is not good at all  through next week.

Tonight is the NBA draft.  Two of the first players to throw their eligibility in the hat was C J Leslie and Lo Brown of N C State.  At the time they were both rated middle of the first rounders.  Since then just about every player  that played college basketball this past season has declared for the draft.  Might not see either drafted in the first round which means they could have stayed one more year or play basketball next year in Brussels.  Tonight we will find out how many  draft declarers from around the world will get a guaranteed contract by being picked in the NBA first round.  There will be only 30 slots with about 100 leaving early.  Somebody surly made a mistake.  We will find out tonight who they were.
