Rumors Due

So far this end of the high school year we have seen one coaching change.  B W Holt's resignation as football at RMA and Terrell Hudgins being named at his replacement.  Since the Holt announcement  the rumor mill has been working overtime with this coach going here and this one switching to this school.  If any of the rumors are true July one will be the day we find out  whether it was gossip or where there was smoke there is fire.

The three players from Nash County playing Legion  ball in Wilson has been reduced to two. Derrick Carter pitcher from Northern Nash who was 1-0 for Post 13 who going in to last night's game  was 14-1 and winners of Eleven straight games which is the all time Post 13 record.   The Legion playoffs start next Tuesday and even without Carter Post 13 seems primed for a deep playoff run.  RMA's MJ Jones on the mound is 1-0 and Rocky Mount's  Blake Helms leads all Post 13 pitchers at 4-0.

Collins Cuthrell now 14 games into his professional career is  is still hitting at a rate of 370.  He has 20 hits in 54 at bats.  He has one homer.   After hitting 25 in college this spring it would really help if Collins could put a few more over the fence.  Batting average only will not get him picked up by major league team.

Benton Moss pitching in New York for Hudson Valley in the New York Penn Rookie League has now been to the mound twice.  He has pitched 3.1 innings and struck out 4 batters.  He has yet to give up a  hit or run in in his two appearances .

Hobbs Johnson in AA baseball pitching in Biloxi MS for the Milwaukee Brewers is now 5-4 on the Season having started. 14 games and pitched 67 innings.  His ERA is 3.36 with 55 strikeouts and he has allowed 55 hits.

Brian Goodwin is batting 234 at Harrisburg PA in AA ball for the Washington Nationals.  Brian is showing signs of getting his bat going.  So far he has hit two dingers, three triples, and ten doubles.  He has 22 RBI.
