Nobody said that winning any tournament would be easy and Nash County opened the Babe Ruth SE Regional 13U Tournament this morning in Union City Tennessee with a rousing 14-13 victory over Tallahassee Florida. There are 10 teams in two brackets and Nash County is in the American bracket and during pool play they will play four games in three days. That will put Nash County right back on the field for the second game of the day Thursday night against Glen Allen Virginia who will be playing their first game. The top two teams from each bracket will then play a single elimination tournament with one from the American playing #2 from the National Bracket and the two winners play for the title.
Friday morning at 9am Nash County plays Gaffney SC so they will have played three games in basically 24 hours and will have a single game Saturday morning against Lexington TN. Most of the time in pool play you will need to win at least three games to qualify for the semi final round an accomplishment that Nash County did in 2004-2005-2006 when all three years Nash County made the World Series, Should there be a three way tie along the way and one of the tie breakers is the team that gives up the least runs. Even though Nash County won their first game 13 is a big number if a three way tie happens.
High school football practices are on going all around North Carolina and there is no area more thrilled than the folks at Northern Nash. Randy Raper now as the new coach hope abounds that he will be the answer to turn the program around. Part of turning a program around sometimes is as simple as to change things up and Friday night when the Knights finish practice at 9pm they are going to feed the team and they will then return to the practice field where Northern will have their brand of midnight madness. They will practice from 11pm until 12:01.
August 15th all four Nash County football teams will be taking part in a football jamboree at Nash Central. They hope to make this an annual event with each school hosting every four years. Right now Bertie, D H Conley and SE Halifax have committed to play in the jamboree. It starts at 6pm and the cost is $6 per person.
