Those Other High School Sports

Football gets all the attention and as far as the Big East football is concerned and the first conference games start this Friday.. All of the other fall sports are either finished with the regular season or almost done and the playoffs start soon.  Let's give the other kids some notice.

Girls Tennis:  Rocky Mount dominated the regular season going 10-0 and 16-1 over all.  Their 89 singles matches played during conference the Lady Gryphons were 80-9. Four of those losses came in a 5-4 win over Hunt.  Hunt and Fike having winning conference records with everyone else trailing the field.  The Big East Tennis Tournament starts Wednesday at Barton.  Rocky Mount's  lone loss on their schedule was to Cardinal Gibbons and you know at some point in the playoffs they will have to meet the so called no scholarship  Private school.

You don't have to look too far to see who has the best Cross country team. Northern has dominated conference runs plus place high up against all schools any time they have run in invitationals beating most 4-A schools.  This squad has a real shot when the regionals and state comes up at placing at least top five which this year might be a disappointment cause they could win it all.

Boys Soccer:  If you want to see where the best in the Big East reside you will have to go to Wilson County.  Hunt and Fike both are scrapping at the top with Northern Nash as the only other team with a winning conference record.  Rocky Mount is 500 but the Big East power is at Fike and Hunt.

Girls Volleyball:  Once again you need to visit Wilson County as Fike and Hunt have lost only game between themselves as volleyball regular season ends this week.  Northern is 5-3 and everybody else  is looking from the bottom up on the top teams.

I hate to beat  dog  down but I have to ask the question about what is going on at Nash Central.  The football team has yet to win, Volleyball has one conference win, tennis has one conference victory and at this point Soccer has yet to win a conference game. 

I ran across and interesting fact that I want you to ponder.  Can you name the largest city in America that does not have even one of the so call big four professional sports team. First of all I was shocked at the size of this city and can't believe for it's size they don't have some kind of pro team.  Answer on Monday.
