As life goes by for Montrezl Harrell the former North Edgecombe Warrior basketball player the year 2013 will be one of the best years of his life. Spring time as one of the first off the bench for the Louisville Cardinal basketball team the then freshman was a major part in helping Louisville win the National Championship inNCAA Basketball.
This summer Harrell has been a member of the U19 team taking part in the World Championships. Harrell leading the team with 17 points has helped the USA team win the U19 World Championships. Harrell had 17 points leading the US in the championship game. A National Champion and now a World Champion in the span of about four months. What could possible be next for this Edgecombe County native. The Universe games? I think the Universe games are played in August and are played on the moon. The way this year has been for Montrezl I think he can get to the moon some how or other.
The Area One American Legion commissioner sent out an e-mail on Monday to all teams still alive in the playoffs that after the first round all four teams would be reseeded. Coleman Pitt Post 58 then had to pay close attention to the results of last night's game between Pitt County and Wayne County played in Mt Olive.
Yes there was rain down there too last night but after over an hour rain delay Pitt County the #6 seed beat Wayne County the #3 seed 9-3. The game was tied at 3 but PC scored 5 runs in the seventh inning to break the game open. Why is this so important for Post 58? Pitt Copunty is the lowest seed remaining in the tournament and there fore will be the team post 58 plays in round two.
The four teams left after Round one are Rocky Mount a 2-0 forfeit winner over Edenton. Kinston a 2 games to none winner over Albemarle. Wilson the #5 seed a two games to none winner over the number four seed Windsor. Pitt County the #6 seed a two games to one winner over Wayne County.
This reseeding will now pit the #1 seed Rocky Mount hosting #6 seed Pitt County and the #2 seed Kinston hosting the #5 seed Wilson Wednesday night. Quite frankly P 58 beat both Pitt County and Wilson twice during the season so yes it does mean CP 58 will play a lower seed but with this season most teams only playing a partial schedule if all games could have been played both Wilson and Pitt County just might have gotten higher seeding with a full season.
The bottom line is this Post 58 will play at 7pm Wednesday at home at Legion Field against Pitt County Post 39. I know with all the weather issues this season attendance has been down. I has been a hard year to know when the next game was or even what time they started. Help support this team during this playoff run. It helps motivate players and it surely helps pay expenses for Coleman Pitt Post 58.
