Fun Trip Over The Weekend

Followed Campbell Volleyball over the weekend in which Campbell's new coach Greg Goral returned to his stomping grounds for the last five years to Morehead State where he was part of the coaching staff that won the Missouri Valley Conference title the last four years. Whenever you win teams needing a coach come calling to the winners an thus Goral now at Campbell. Morehead does a neat thing before each one of their home games as they have someone to make a ceremonial first serve. Saturday night Jaime Gordon got Goral to make the first serve. I don't know whether Goral knew this was coming or not But Gordon presented Goral with his championship ring from winning the MVC Conference Championship last season. Nice touch from Morehead State. I know everyone in Buies Creek are pleased with the 7-4 start and you could tell those from Morehead loved Greg with all the hugs he got this weekend. It is official the Oakland A's released Xavier Macklin last week and the former Nash Central Bulldog has a decision to make whether will continue to try to make it in pro baseball or look to his future else where. Injuries have cut many a players career short. X never got going this year from shoulder surgery last year. Brian Goodwin's summer seems to be over. Harrisburg lost in the Eastern League finals last Wednesday and Goodwin did not get a call to Washington. Jim Grobe has been the perfect coach for Wake Forest but a lost Saturday to Louisiana-Monroe might be the first or should I say second nail in his coffin after losing to BC last week. The life of a coach is tenuous at best. Just five years or so every college in the country was knocking on his door. I hope the Deacs turn it around except when the Pack comes calling.
