Know Where We Stand

We have gone so far this Legion season only knowing what each teams record was when they showed up and ask the manager what's is your teams record.  We have reached the last week of the season and  and for the first time this season we know where we stand heading into this week.  Oddly enough this looks a lot like what the Big East standings looked like.  One team is pretty much done for the year while the other five have not been eliminated from tying for first

Raleigh Post 1               6-1
Apex Post 124               4-2
Rocky Mount Post 58    4-3
Garner National             3-3
Cary Post 67                   3-4
Roxboro Post 138           0-7

Coleman Pitt is right in the middle of who is going to win the regular season.  P58 plays Raleigh Post 1 in a double header Saturday.  Still unscheduled is the rainout game with Apex from a couple of weeks ago.  If Post 58 sweeps all three games they will be no worse other than tied at the top.

The one objective right now is you don't want to finish in fourth or fifth.  Only five of the six teams in the division make the playoffs. Starting July 3-4-5 four and five play a two out of three and the winner will join the top three teams in the next round starting July 7th.  You surely don't want to be playing during the Holidays.

The second round 1/4-2/3 will play a three out of five starting July 7th.  The division championship is a three out of five and starts July 13th.  The Eastern Championship is a two out of three that begins July 20th.  The Eastern Winner will qualify for the state tournament in Lexington which starts July 25th

Last Thursday night during the Legion game with Cary was the last assignment for the Telegram's Justin Hite. Let's face it our market  regardless of radio or newspapers is a jumping off point.  Justin came here about five years ago and from here is heading to Oklahoma City where he will be covering the Sooners in football.  Good Luck my friend.
