Local Schools Have No 2012/13 Ejections

Recently the NCHSAA announced all the teams from across North Carolina that played the entire school year 2012/13 without any player or coach getting ejected from any school sponsored sporting event. There are 396 member institutions in the NCHSAA and 129 schools played the games the honorable way. That is about two out of three sometime during the season had a player ,coach or school official tossed from a game for some reason. We all take sports way to serious because in the skeem of life the outcome of a ball game has no bearing on whether the sun rises tomorrow or not. It is interesting to note that all three public schools in Edgecombe County did not have an ejection all year. Only two of the five public schools in Nash County were ejection free Rocky Mount Prep and Nash Central. Rocky Mount, Northern Nash and Southern Nash all received a red card at some point in the season. There is no reason of course that every time two teams meet on any field of competition they can't play the game doing every thing they can do to win the game but do it in a manner of good sportsmanship. The world we live in today the world of twenty four hour news where when you watch what they put on the air there is only about 15 minutes a day that has anything that truly concerns us. We really don't need to know what happens in Arizona unless it is got something to do with National security of our country. What is missing is the "On the road segments like Charles Karalt use to do on the national scene or the Tar Heel Traveler" on WRAL. It is nice to see features like the Telegram ran Sunday on the Brice Sisters Tanner and Chandler. One of the problems in this world is violence sells. We live in a world that would rather talk about killings than talk about the things we remember fifty years from now that we call the good old days.
