J's final High school Game

J'Kyra Brown playing in her last high school game representing Rocky Mount High school Brown scored with 40 seconds to play on a rebound at the defensive end and took it all the way for a lay up and in doing so helped to secure a 67-60 East victory over the west in the annual East/West High school girls basketball game play in the Greensboro Coliseum Monday night.  J'Kyra along with two east teammates each had 12 points in the game to lead the way.  Kelsey Daniels scored two points in the game giving the Gryphons a total of 14 for the night.

There have been some players dropping out of the East/West All Star football  game Wednesday night and  Justin Ferrell from Southwest Edgecombe has been added to the roster. Players from this area that are playing besides Ferrell are Travonne Marshall Tarboro High and Jerod Richardson from Nash Central.

Tuesday night belongs to the soccer as two players and a coach from the Twin County area are in Greensboro taking part in the all star festivities this week during the NC High School Coaches Association meetings being held this week in Greensboro.  Southern Nash will have Carlos Levin on the east squad along with Tarboro's Travis Martin.  The East will be coached by Tarboro's Leshaun Jenkins.

Friday begins the State American Legion State Tournament in Wilson.  It all begins at 9:30 Friday Morning when Kernersville open play against the area four winner which is being played tonight.  The 12:30 will have Randolph County taking on the runner up in area four.  The opening ceremonies will be held at 3:30 Friday afternoon and then at 4:30 Garner will go up against Jacksonville.  The finale of the night will Have Post 13 from Wilson who has a losing record on the year play Wilmington Post 10 at 7:30.

Like to congratulate Nash County Babe Ruth 13U team winning the eastern State Championship and by doing so has earned a spot in the Southeast Regional in Tennessee August 1st.  I know in the last 10 years Nash County has made it all the way to the World Series at least  three times.  Twice it was held in Wilson with the last year being 2006 and 2005 making it to the World series finishing second in Quincy Ma. I have no connections with anyone on this team at all and sure would love to get someone to advise me how I can keep up with their progress as they continue their adventure.
