Every game when we celebrate victory over on the other side of the field is a team that lost a game. Sometimes in order to achieve glory there are heartaches and pains to endure. Two local athletes from this area have major injuries at their colleges and there are questions about their future sports endeavors.
Far from the spot light heard this week that MJ Gainey while playing basketball at Newport News Apprentice school has suffer the same knee injury that sidelined him his junior season at Rocky Mount high. You may recall during the state championship game when Rocky Mount had the game at hand Gainey played the last minute still In a heavy knee brace and made a lay up near the buzzer which sent many in the stands to tears not only for the joy of a Gryphon victory but for MJ getting in the game and scoring after being a major part of that state championship team. This new injury may bring an end to MJ's basketball career.
It was announced Tuesday that Todd Gurley underwent successful knee surgery which may have brought an end to Gurley's college career. Gurley a junior at Georgia before his injury was in major conversation as the best college football player in the country. Now a junior Gurley has the option to turn pro and may never play another down for Bulldogs.
6-2 last week on the picks which run my guess record to 85-30 on the season. This is the last week of the regular season so this is last week of college picks this season.
Pack at Tar Heels: I think this will be a good game as both team already bowl eligible. Only thing they are playing for is this is the State-Carolina game. Carolina 38-State 28
