Head Knocking

Tonight for the first high schools around North Carolina could meet up with someone else on the other side of the line of scrimmage that had a different football helmet on.  Louisburg and Northern Vance paid a vist to Rocky Mount.

Mixed results for the Gryphons as at times moved the ball showing their speed and at times the offensive line didn't get off their blocks well.  The defensive side of the ball just like the offense  at time showed speed and at times looked small.   Over all about what all coaches expect there is still plenty to work on before the first game two Friday's from now.

I don't know if  the American Legion Southeast Regional could have had a better ending.  Florida scored two runs in the top of the ninth and then had to survive Asheboro getting two runners on second and third in the bottom of the ninth to win the Regional 8-7.  You have to hand it to Asheboro.  They were the last seeded team and only played in the regional because they were hosting the event and yet they made it all the way to the last pitch and almost won it all.

If you have ever looked at my profile I have as one of my top ten favorite movies is Mrs. DoubtFire.  My favorite line in the movie is where Priece Bronson is sitting in the bar by the pool and Robin Williams throws a lemon or some type of fruit that hits Bronson beside the head.  Mrs DoubtFire turns to look to see who threw it and of course Williams upset because his wife is dating someone else had thrown it and he makes the statement "a drive by Fruiting".  Williams of course made the line up on the spot during filming and to me it is a screamer of a line.  I am snickering now as I write this because I find it a very funny line.

Monday Robin Williams died and his death was self inflicted.  As far as comedians are concern he was the master of all.  However I do think the news media has over blown  his death and I don't think there needs to be wall to wall coverage.  An hour special would have been plenty.  Isn't it funny that all of a sudden nothing else is happening in the world. Last week the Middle East was on the verge of war and tonight it's back page news.  The world is still in turmoil.
