Back To Normal

The weather has played havoc with high school sports this week first postponing all Tuesday games and never allowing games to be made up on Wednesday.  Now all those missed Tuesday games will be made up either on next Wednesday or Thursday.

Everyone will play their normal Tuesday night conference games featuring Northern Nash at Rocky Mount. Fike at Hunt and Southrrn at Nash Central.  Wednesday Rocky Mount will travel to Fike.  Right now Hunt is 2-0 in conference will travel to Southern Nash.  By time theses two square off two other games will have been played.  Nash Central will travel Northern Nash on the 30th.  All teams will then play their Friday night conference games meaning each will play three conference games next week weather pending how ever as there are forecasts calling for some wintery weather next week.

So tonight it is back to basketball as I will be at Southern Nash joining Edward Green who will do play by play as we will record the boys game which will be replayed Sunday night with the Rocky Mount boys.  Southern 6-9 2-0 have already met Rocky Mount in the finals of the Nash County Christmas tournament but Rocky Mount 7-6 1-1 has won only once since that mid December meeting  when they beat Southern by 12.

Fike  14-1 1-1 will visit Northern  Nash 6-9 0-2.  Northern didn't get good news on the Paul Cherry knee injury as he is out for the year.  Hunt 10-3 2-0 rides from west Wilson to Nash Central 4-12 0-2.

Even though their records will not say so but the girls Big East games of the week will be Nash Central 12-4 1-1 hosting Hunt 7-6 0-2. Hunt is 0-2 after losing to at this point the top two girls team in Northern and Rocky Mount.  Rocky Mount 8-4 2-0  will head south to Southern Nash 7-7 1-1.  Fike 8-7 0-2 scoots over from Wilson to  play Northern 13-1 2-0.

Right now at this point in the boys play both Northern Nash and Nash Central standing at 0-2 can not afford another defeat.  To say the least both are desperate and any team desperate can be a handful and tonight Fike and Hunt need to be ready.

The same thing applies on the girls side as the desperate teams are Hunt and Fike.  Both Nash Central and Northern had better have their full attention on the games tonight.
