Serena Bags Another Title

Serena Williams wins another Wimbledon Title.  She surely has been the best women's tennis player in the last twenty years.  Her Wimbledom win was her 21st major in her career.  At 33 years old she is the oldest  majors winner ever.  She ranks third all time in major wins behind Margaret Court 24 wins and Steffie Graf 22.  She now has won Wimbledon six times, the U.S. Open six and the Australian six times.  She only has won the French three times.

Tonight begins the three day major all star celebrations.  Their will be the Futures Game featuring the up and coming minor league stars.  Monday the Home Run derby  with a format where players will be in one on one brackets.  Then Tuesday's all star game with the winning team getting their league  home field advantage in the World Series.

The times are a changing in Major League Baseball.  Half of the Kansas City Royals will be in the starting line up during Tuesday night's all star game.  Their fans stuff the ballot box in maybe the smallest city in the major leagues.

The final night of the NFL top 100 players ended last week and no surprise at all with J J Watt being voted the number one player.  This was voted by the NFL players and their is no better award when it comes from your peers.

There is another week to go until the high school coaches convention in Greensboro.  The football all star game plus both boy and  girls basketball and the soccer all star games.  Coaches will hear about new rules as well as attending meetings where they will hear other coaches and in some cases big named college coaches lecture on how to coach their sport.

There will also be coaches looking jobs and there are many unfilled vacancies  through out the area.  I have reliable sources telling me that two of Nash Rocky Mount high school baseball jobs are empty right now.  If you have heard the rumors one rumor is true but their is an unexpected baseball opening   From a coach leaving the County to take a baseball job out of the County.  That one will shock everybody
