Hunt Has Their Hands Full

They didn't find out till Sunday but Hunt's foe in Chapel Hill Saturday in the state Championship 3A game will be Freedom High from Morganton.  Sunday they beat North Forsyth 76-59 to punch their ticket.  Hunt the Big East Champion at 25-3 while Freedom is 30-1.  Freedom is in the same conference in whinch Rocky Mount's opponent in 2012  Hickory was from.

Benton Moss won his second game of the year for Carolina Saturday beating Pittsburgh 2-1.  Moss went seven innings. Striking out 12 which is his career high.    Hard to believe that conference play has started already in the ACC.  State swept Notre Dame giving up three runs in three games.  Carlos Rodon gave up all three. The Pack pitchers have now gone 21 innings without giving up a run.  Carolina won two of three.

I just don't see how he can lose it now but after scoring 42 last night T J Warren has scored 83 points in his last two games.  Warren made 30 of 45 shots in that stretch.  Duke won game two with Carolina  stopping the Heels 12 game conference winning streak.

So far this high school baseball season weather has been  an issue with most every team having lost two or three games already this season.  Seems weather will be nice for the first part of the week and teams will be scrambling to try to catch up on games missed plus try to play the ones on the schedule already for this week.

Tonight at the Pizza Inn on Hunter Hill Road the Northern Nash football team will be holding a fund raiser with money raised going to the football team.  Players will be serving so come on out and support the Knights.

This will not make the Northern girls basketball team feel any better but West Craven's Jamie Cherry set a state record during the second round of the state playoffs.  Against Havelock Cherry made 12 three points which is the most ever by a girl in a state playoff game.
