Can't Get Much Bigger

Maybe if State and Carolina were meeting in the Final Four in basketball it would be considered bigger.  Since it has never happened on the basketball court or in a BCS football game tonight's College World Series  game in Omaha Nebraska is the ultimate of college sports games between the two biggest rivals in North Carolina.  Just Maybe Duke -North Carolina in basketball would be bigger and yes they did meet one year in the NIT semi's but never on the NCAA stage.

What is at stake tonight is a years worth of ragging because for the loser tonight they pack up Friday morning and come back to RDU Airport while the other will try to play at least one more game. The winner still has the hope of winning the National Championship in College Baseball while the loser will have to hear all about what the other did to send you home.  I hope for who ever wins it is a game of we did the right thing at the right time to win.  I hope we don't have another wild throw to first starts the down fall for the loser.  The burden for any player out there spilling his heart to win for his team making a error and becomes a goat is a life time anchor to drag around for the rest of your life.

Coleman Pitt Post 58 will try again Friday night to play  a double header with Windsor which is a conference game.  Between cancelling games and rain outs Post 58 still has 12 conference games to play by the fourth Of July.  Some of those rain outs are still being looked at to find open dates.  Don't be surprised if the way this season has gone to play one team on a Saturday at noon and play anther team at 7pm to get all the games in.  That's the way this season has been.  If you add all the cancellations with the rain outs P58 who stands at 3-5 on the year has lost more games than played.

All of the high schools in the area have had graduations and school is over until mid August.  Some of those students that graduated are searching jobs that will become what they do for the rest of their lives.  Some have found summer jobs waiting for opening day of colleges where they will go to get more education to prepare them for their future.  Still others while getting more education will attempt to play sports in college.  What follows is a list of those from Rocky Mount High School that I know of that will play sports in college.  If I have left someone off please send me a comment so we can add them to the list.  This list is based on them getting at least some scholarship money to play what ever sport they are in.  This does not include those who will walk on in college.
