History Found In Canisters

If you played football for Rocky Mount High School in  the years 1967-68 and 69.  The orginal 16 or 8 millimeter film canisters have been found and containing all game footage from those years.  The film is in better condition than what you might expect  but look that is old time film almost fifty years old and it has been found in an attic.

If you happen to be someone that would like to prove to your grand children that you did actually play football this might be for you.  This is certainly history of Rocky Mount High School..  The  holder of this film has found this tucked away in and attic and really isn't sure what needs to be done with it.

Didn't we just talk about this about five weeks ago or so.  NC State had beaten Duke and students stormed the court  and the WolfPack was on the verge of moving up in the high rent district of the ACC a place that WolfPack fans desperately want to return to.

The emotion of the Duke victory State lost six of the next eight games but they have worked their way back to respectability.  Their victory over Carolina that other team State wants to be like has State standing in the very same spot they stood five weeks ago.  They have the keys to the pent house in their hands all they have to do is beat the teams they should beat which could be the next two games at Boston College and at Clemson a team that ripped them in one of those six losses after the Duke win.
 
Pack fans the most important game this year is Saturday at Boston College.  A lost to the last place team  in the ACC  would destroy all they have worked for to get back in the NCAA picture.

Those of you let's get rid of Roy folks after the Pack's win on Wednesday I think the entire Carolina  season and future for rest of the season lies in the foot of Marcus Paige.  You can say all you want but Carolina Goes as Paige goes and anybody that can't practice everyday because of the constant pounding on this foot can't be prepared on even in physical shape to play college basketball  the way it needs to be played.    It is hard for fans who sits in the stands to know what a small injury does to any player.

I sit here on my IPAD  the ground is covered in little more than an hour after the snow  Started and schools are closed again Thursday which kills another day for playoff basketball but there is another issue the fact that players have not practiced in about two weeks.  Who can possibly be in shape.  If they go to play the first day back in school when ever that might be then players will be susceptible to pulled muscles  and injury. This year is quickly becoming the year that the playoffs were cancelled.
 You know that will never happen.
