Play Ball

Isn't it amazing just three days ago we had snow sticking to the roads 30 minutes after it started because the temperature was cold enough that every flake stuck.  Friday's temps made 90 per cent of the snow to disappear and yes there will be a lot going on in the area today.

Last night at Fike the Hunt boys completed a perfect conference schedule winning in front of a standing room only crowd 69-61.  Today Rocky Mount travels to Northern Nash with nothing on the line as far as seedings are concerned but the Lady Knights could top off their conference season undefeated. Southern Nash and Nash Central will finish all that they will play today as today's action will be only their ninth conference games.

Since no seedings are involved but Hunt, Southern, Nash Central and Northern not playing all ten games this will allow the Big East tournament to start Monday at Rocky Mount with Southern Nash boys playing Nash Central again.  Fike will play Northern Nash.  The Fike/Northern winner will play Hunt Wednesday and the Southrrn/Nash Central winner will meet Rocky Mount.

Even though Rocky Mount is on the road at Northern today the gym will be a busy place as the Eastern Regional wrestling tournament will begin. Weigh in begins at 9:30 and the tournament will keep going until the wrestlers who are still winning wrestle up to five times.  The NCHSAA puts a limit in the number of matches per wrestler per day at five so the finals will be held on Sunday at Rocky Mount's gym.

Tonight the Black Box Auditorium at RMHS will be a live with entertainment as the IB programs annual talent show will be performed.  It starts at 7pm admission is donation and all funds raised will be donated to the UNC Cancer Center in the name of former RMHS student Holly Fryer who after being the goalie on the soccer team as a sophomore has fought Liver Cancer the last four years.
