The new format being used this year by the American Legion where there is no north or south division just everyone in the same conference there will be a premium to make the playoffs. Thursday nights game at Windsor has been postponed again by rain for the second time this week. Post 58 needs to get a couple of wins under their belt and both Windsor and Albemarle were good opportunities to get off to a good start this week before next weeks meat of a schedule.
Post 58 takes time off for high school graduations this weekend but listen to this four days in a row starting Monday. Kinston at Home, Tuesday at Wilson, Wednesday at Greenville and Thursday home to Wayne County. These four teams are the teams that P58 will need to beat in order to be high enough in the standings to make the playoffs. It sure would have been nice to get a couple of wins under their belt before Murderers Row next week.
Looks as if it might be Saturday before you will see any Super Regional baseball in the area and I would think Carolina will benefit the most from a rain out. Since they used all three of their weekend starters Monday night to beat Florida Atlantic another day of rest will not hurt them. By the way Colin Moran was the 6th pick in the baseball draft Thursday night going to Miami.
If both games are delayed to Saturday I think Carolina will play again at 1pm and State at 4. ESPN will be carrying all eight of the Super Regional games either of ESPNU or ESPN two so if you don't have a ticket you can still see both games.
The National Federation of High Schools honored NCHSAA Associate Commissioner Rick Strunk for his outstanding service to the National Federation. If you are a broadcaster for many years when it was time to get a new Media Pass Rick was the man you dealt with through the NCHSAA. It you were also lucky enough be be part of any state championship that were held in Chapel Hill Rick was always the man in charge whether it was football or basketball. Rick has served us all well with the NCHSAA but the honor he has received from the NFHS is for his service with the National Organization.
SouthWest Edgecombe has added two new members to their Hall Of Fame. Raymond Cobb who has spent the last ten years as the Cougars football coach and for 25 years of service to Edgecombe County. His 25 years he won 253 football games and two state championships while at North Edgecombe.
Bruce Rhodes who is a graduate of SWE and has been coaching baseball for the Cougars since 1986 and head coach since 1992. Under Rhodes the Cougars made the championship game in 2004 and he won at least 240 games during his coaching career.
