New Format Does No Favors For Big East

We all wanted to get rid of the POD and that wish was granted.  The results will not favor the Big East. I would like to say that there is no perfect way when there are more teams in any playoff and there are several not deserving to be in it.  I do however favor this method being used where all the conference champions are seeded by record And then the second place and so forth.

Hunt is the only conference member that will be favored in their first round game and as conference champs draw the only home game.  They will host Terry Sanford from  Fayetteville who brings in a 4-7 record.  Sanford is one of those traditional 4-A schools similar to Rocky Mount that has dropped to 3-A with all the new schools built in Fayetteville reducing their size.

If there is one team that can say who did we make mad is Fike.  Ten and one one this season  and they don't even get to play home the first game as they travel to Lee County who will host with a nine and two record.

Rocky Mount will travel to Hillsbourgh to take on Orange who stands at ten and one while the Gryphons will come in eight and three.  You have to give it to Jason Batle as his first two years as Gryphon coach has produced 16 victories.  Number 17 will be hard to come by.

Southern Nash travels to Swansboro who is another one of those coastal schools growing due to the rush of people to live at the beach.  Topsoil is another of those schools that recently were either 1-A. Or 2-A that has moved up while most in this area are dropping.  There is one thing this year the Big East can do is prove as they have in the past that they are the best football conference in the east and win. two or more games next weekend.

Hunt has made it all the way to the Eastern Finals in Soccer. As they beat White Oak 2-1 to advance to meet Jacksonville later this week for the right to go the the State Finals

The college basketball season ifs off and running and the Louisville Cardinals are off to a good start as North Edgecombe basketball player Montrezl Harrell played  33 minutes for the Cardinals and scored ten points and had ten rebounds.  Montrezl as a sophomore was named one of the tri-captains of the team with two other senior players.
