The Lady Knights of Northern Nash are heading to Fayetteville now in the fourth year of the best string of years in history. The Lady Knights are 87-12 during this run. I think if you read this blog often or have ever listened to me on radio or tv the regional in basketball is equivalent to playing the Friday after Thanksgiving in football. Regardless of the outcome from here on out they have had a great season and only great teams are left.
The Lady Gryphons lost four times to the Lady Knights during the season and now that the season is over from where we all thought they were in the beginning of the season to where they finished this season was a most successful one.
If you go on line to the Washington National's website there is a story on Brian Goodwin. The National top prospect is expected to start out in AA but hope to move him to AAA by Midseason. Looking at the Milwaukee Brewers website after the season Hobbs Johnson had I am surprised That he is not listed as one of their top 20 prospects. According to Xavier Macklin's Twitter he may be trying to continue his baseball career over seas this summer.
I haven't spoken about Cousin Lauren Doughtie in a while as she continues her pro golf career. She has a limited playing status on the LPGA tour this year so for most of the year she will be back on the Futures Tour. Last week in the first event of the season she finished 14th shooting 3 under par for the weekend. This weekend she is sitting in a hotel in LA waiting to play in this weekends event in California. They are going through heavy rains in that area and the forecast they may not play at all.
The Lady Cougars of SouthWest Edgecombe ended their season by not making the playoffs. Coach Sandra Langley finished the season with 698 career wins. Last Saturday we went to Campbell as both the boys and girls basketball teams had senior day. We were sitting with the Hill family Quinton and Nicki Hill and their daughter Alexus of Northern Nash fame.
Alexus has signed with Gardner Webb and they were the team Campbell was playing. After the game when all the GW players and coaches come over to meet and greet their new signee one of the assistant coaches for GW is Monique Hudson. For those who have forgotten Monique and twin sister Domique were on the SouthWest. Girls state championship team in 2005. SWE girls have never come close to the years they had with the Hudson twins.
I don't know how many of you watched the Campbell-High Point basketball game that was on ESPNU last night but under one of the baskets for High Point in their student section was Jeremy Johnson a freshman pitcher on the baseball team who played for the Gryphons last season. During one of the TV timeouts the camera zoomed in on Jeremy and Jeremy did as typical students do when
the. Camera is on them. Daughter Morgan has posted Jeremy's 15 seconds of fame on her FaceBook.
