The threat of rain forced The Hunt-Rocky Mount baseball game to be moved up from 7pm to 4 pm at Hunt on Friday afternoon. Both teams entered the contest having lost their conference openers earlier this week and both found themselves needing to get on the winning ways and neither wanting to start 0-2 in conference. Friday Hunt pounds out 10 hits while the Gryphons collected only three and Hunt wins their first conference game and goes to 1-1 while Rocky Mount drops to 0-2. Next action for Rocky Mount is Tuesday night when they Host Fike.
Now that the winter sports season is over the standings are out in the latest Wells Fargo standing through all fall and winter sports. Hunt riding a conference championship in boys basketball and two second place finishes in swimming they have the Big East lead with 114.5 points. Fike and Rocky Mount are tied at second with 107.5 points. Fike won men swimming during the winter while Rocky Mount took first in wrestling and women's swimming and second place in both girls and boys basketball. Southern Nash is fourth with. 96.5 , Northern Nash 91 and Nash Central 85.5.
I haven't had the space to speak about Tom Suiter's extra effort award winner this week was Justin Hendricks of Faith Christian. During my years of broadcasting sports I have been many times at Faith and Jimmy Hendricks as athletic director I have seen his family there on many trips and have seen Justin many times. You have to give Tom Suitor credit when he does a piece on any athlete he can get to the heart of the athlete being focused on.
After all the hype of both North Carolina and North Carolina State making it to the College World Series last season and the possibility that they both could get there again this year their seasons have fallen on hard times since conference play. Carolina lost again Friday to be 5-5 in conference while State pending a suspension in the 6th inning for rain is is 3-6. After all the hub bub there is a real possibility that neither will make the ACC Tournament.
