All the brackets are posted and the last three spring sports that have yet to start playoffs do so this week and at least one big surprise who got in. First the baseball brackets.
Big East top seed Fike 14-7 will be seeded 7th and they host Eastern Wayne seeded 26th at 7pm Wednesday.
Northern Nash 12-11 the 15th in the state tournament will have a home game Tuesday night at 6:00 pm when they host the 19th seed Eastern Guilford 15-10.
Rocky Mount falls to the third Big East team after Northern won the Big East tournament but the main reason that got a higher seed over Rocky Mount was they won two of the three meetings between the two. Rocky Mount hits the road meeting Southern Lee but the game will be played at Lee County High and game time will be 7:00pm Wednesday.
The surprise team to get in is Hunt. They have a losing record at 10-11 and get in seeded 31st so they are the next to last team. They will travel to Cardinal Gibbons who are 21-2 on the season and carry the number two seed into this game. This game will be played at 4:30 Wednesday at Gibbons.
Softball finds Fike 12-6 8th seed hosting Orange 10-6 and the 25th seed.
Northern Nash 9-5 the 15th seed will play Eden Morehead 28th seed will play Wednesday night at 6:oopm at Northern.
Hunt 8-7 is the third team in from the Big East and as a 19th seed travel to West Craven 13-7 an a 14 seed.
Fike at 20-1 is a 4th seed in soccer and they will host Smithfield Selma the 29th seed with a 8-8 record.
Hunt the 12th seed 13-6 will host Big East Rival Rocky Mount 8-11 is seeded 21st. Doesn't there alway seems to be some how or other the Big East always plays somebody else in the conference which surely keeps the league getting too many teams deep in the playoffs
Northern Nash 11-8 is seeded 26th travels to the 7th eastern seed Eastern Wayne 10-6.
We got a game to go see Tuesday night as Northern Baseball plays at 6:00pm

Waiting On Brackets
Northern Nash Hosting a playoff game while Rocky Mount hits the road. The official backets are in and Northern Nash has jumped ahead of Rocky Mount and will host Eastern Guilford Wednesday while Rocky Mount will travel to Lee County. The playoffs start Wednesday.
Sure has been a busy week for those NCHSAA officials as it started Thursday during the year end awards ceremonies including Rocky Mount's Pam Gainey being named the NC High School female coach of the year.
Friday the state finals began in tennis which spilled over to the finals on Saturday and then the Track and field which finished also on Saturday. If you go on line to the NCHSAA website and pull up baseball it says that the first day of baseball practice is February 15th, the first game March 2nd and playoff seeding announced on May 9th and the first day of the playoffs May 13th. Somebody in Chapel Hill forgot when scheduling that Saturday was a full day without baseball, softball and Lacrosse brackets to get out so they have been put off until early Monday.
Chapel Hill's explanation was that seedings were more difficult to do than the standard who was first, second in your conference. I don't see how seeding the teams by records will be an advantage for any Big East team. Fike at 14-7 over all is only the 14th best record in the 3A east. Rocky Mount at 10-8 is 26th and Northern at 12-11 is 28th.
The records of all the teams in the Big East are nothing to Bragg about and if overall records are any indication of how good any team is compared to any other then it could be a short ride for the Big East this spring. All three have at least one ace pitcher and you know everyone will throw their ace in the first round so it will come down to scoring runs to advance.
North Carolina baseball after a sweep last week moved up several spots in the ACC standings. Saturday were swept by Notre Dame and Mike Fox brought Benton Moss hoping to get the Tar Heels at least one win on the weekend. Moss wasn't great but when he left after six innings the Tar Heels were ahead 7-5 but a home run with 2 outs in the bottom of the ninth Notre Dame beat Carolina 8-7.
The lost drops Carolina to 13-13 and after beating Wake Forest twice so far this weekend N C State has moved a half game ahead of Carolina. They play Wake Monday night at 7pm on ESPNU.
