The high school spring sports season could officially start on Monday yet not one Big East Conference baseball team has been able to get on the field to practice much less play. If baseball sits idle so does tennis, soccer, softball and track and field.
Many teams if they are able to make up some of these washed and cold out so far may not be made up, if they can't get three games in a week in up to conference play. Who wants to waste pitchers on a third game per week once you start two conference games per week. The quality seen on the field will be suspect early when ever the games start because there has simply been no way to practice to prepare for a season.
The fifth time in the last six years the Big East will have a boys basketball team playing in the East Regional Final. Tonight Hunt beat Havelock 59-53 to advance to Saturday's final and they will meet Fayettville's Terry Sanford. This is the second year in a row that Hunt has played in the east final.
Tabias Hilliard the junior at Methodist University has made the Conference USA South second team all conference in basketball. Hilliard averaged 12.4 points per game 12th overall. 3.0 assist was eighth best in the USA South.
TaShawn Mabry has made honorable mentions all conference playing in the Lone Star Conference for Tarleton State. Mabry averaged 11.7 points per games and 5.3 rebounds. Tarleton State won the Lone Star Conference with a 27-2 record and are 7th in DII basketball
Both Mabry and Hilliard played on state championship basketball teams while at Rocky Mount High. Mabry played on the 2010 team and Hilliard on 2012 squad.
The NFL season is over and the next big item on the agenda for the NFL is the draft which does not come until the first week in May. All the talk right now is who is the number one pick and right now the consenus slants toward Jamis Winston. History tells us the last 15 players picked at # 1 are generally at best not worth being picked # one. The last 15 number one picks have 21 Pro Bowls picks among them. The so called best player in any years draft is only going to make the all star game 1.5 times among them all.
Winstons seven acts while at Florida State which either required action by police or some board at FSU to decide his conduct is enough for me. This guy is cancer at the pro level. The quarterback is the CEO of any team. On offense he directs which way the offense goes. He should be a high standard guy. How many of the top 50 CEO's in this world had more than one issue while in college if they went to college or since they have been in charge of their business?
If I owned the #1 pick this year I would be unloading the pick to somebody desperate to make a big splash. Let somebody else belly flop and sting for a while.
