Trio Make All State

Two Big East women and one male from Nash county have made the NCPreps.Com All State basketball Team. Alexus Hill from Northern Nash and Ni'ya Styles from Nash Central represent the gals. The boys have Dante Battle from the Rocky Mount Gryphons as an all state selection. Joining Battle on the boys all state team is Quan Hunt from Hunt giving Wilson County a member on the all state team. If you have not heard by now Derrick Carter was in control last night for Northern Nash and the Knights knock off the top team in the Big East Hunt. Fike for some reason has had more trouble than anyone else in the league with Southern Nash and won by a 3-1. The first time they played they beat Southern only 2-0. In no other conference game this year has Southern held any other team to less than ten runs. Nash Central's win over Rocky Mount put the standings into a four way tie for first place with four conference games to play. Hunt 4-2 still has Rocky Mount, Nash Central, Southern and Fike to play. Northern Nash 4-2 has remaining on their schedule Fike, Southern, Nash Central and Rocky Mount. Nash Central 4-2 is still looking at Hunt, Southern, Northern Nash and Fike. Fike 4-2 still faces Rocky Mount,Northern, Nash Central and Northern. The combination of games left to play seems to me Fike has the hardest schedule left as they are the only one left that doesn't play Southern which for any team trying to win a conference championship you can't lose to them. Northern would seem to have the easiest since they already have Hunt out of the way having beaten them twice. This year to me is the poorest year of conference baseball I have witnessed since the formation of Northern and Rocky Mount dropping from 4-A and forming the NEW and Big East conference. There is not a great defensive team in the bunch. Up to last night Hunt was the only one that had shown any consistant hitting and now Northern's pitching has trottled them twice. Just about every team in the league has shown poor defense at some point and poor defense with lack of hitting can kill a great pitching performance in a heart beat. This weekend is the big weekend of spring championships for the teams playing in USA-South with NC Wesleyan serving as the host school along with the city of Rocky Mount. In the past Rocky Mount has served at Northgreen as the host for the ACC golf championship. it is quite an honor to be the host for anything and lack of support from the local community will be the quickest way to have some other town snatch it way from Rocky Mount. You know the sports complex less than ten years ago was the best complex anywhere and now you will find those type facilities everywhere. They say if you will built it they will come. If you don't come support NC Wesleyan's efforts to be the host school for this USA-South event somebody else has built it and they will go.
