Big Week Ahead

Do to possible weather complication Wednesday. the Rocky Mount at Fike games have been switched to TONIGHT. Since this storm system may be here Tuesday afternoon the Northern Home game for Tuesday night has been moved to 1pm Saturday at Rocky Mount High. Thirty per cent of the conference basket ball season is over and in order to play just three games it has taken three weeks. If weather permits another thirty per cent of the basketball season will occur this week.

Hunt  11-3 3-0 has a matchup Tuesday with Fike 14-1 2-1.  Right now there are four teams at 2-1 or better in the conference and Tuesday this is the game of the Night in the Big East.  These two have already faced each other during a Christmas tournament in Wilson and the Golden Demons won 52-50 .

Hunt has a Wednesday night trip to Southern Nash 6-10 2-1 and a Friday excursion to Northern Nash.  Fike will Host Rocky Mount on Wednesday and Southern Nash on Friday.  Hunt will face two of the three teams at 2-1 this week while Fike will will meet everyone they are tied with at 2-1.

Rocky Mount 8-6 2-1 has it's rival game with Northern Nash  6-10 0-3 Tuesday at Home, a Wednesday trip to Fike and then a home game Friday with Nash Central 4-12 0-3.  They face only one of the top four teams.  Southern Nash starts out Tuesday at Nash Central a home game Wednesday against Hunt and a Friday night affair at Fike.  So Southern will face off against two other teams that are either tied with or trail in the standings.

Northern Nash heads to Rocky Mount Tuesday, at home Thursday with Nash Central and have a Friday visit from Hunt.  Northern with three conference losses could do themselves well if they could beat Rocky Mount and Hunt.  Nash Central in the same boat as Northern gets a home game with with Southern Nash Tuesday, a trip to Northern Thursday and a Rocky  Mount ride on Friday.  They too could do themselves a favor by knocking off the big boys but if both Northern and Central have a bad week they could be completely out of the race by Friday night.

After this week there is only two weeks to go but I think by Friday night we will have a good picture who will be heading to the playoffs and who still has a shot at the regular season Big East title.  That is of course pending what the weather does this week.
