One More Chance

According to the Wilson Post 13 website Post 13 victory earned Wilson a Spot in next weekend's American Legion State Tournament in Salisbury.   Post 13 will play a winner take all one game against Garner who beat Raleigh 7-6 Friday.  The single game will be at Fleming Stadium in Wilson  Sunday night.  This will be the last Senior Legion  game any where in eastern North Carolina this year.

All they are really doing is deciding who is the area one champion and who is the runner up as Garner now that they won the Area One west  division is in State Tournament also. It was suppose to be a two out of three but here is what has happened.  Both teams are in next weekend's tournament so both coaches value rest over wearing their pitchers out in a meaningless series when one game winner take all will suffice.

Monday-Tuesday and Wednesday will be Allstar week at the NC Coaches Association meetings.  Monday is basketball night and there is no player or coach from Nash County playing in the girls game.  The only Big East player in basketball is Hunt's Josh Willingham.  Basketball is the main course of entertainment  Monday Night.

Tuesday belongs to soccer and the girls game is first up and once again no player from Nash County will be playing.  Three girls from the Big East will take part.  Fike will have two players Katie Stokely and Mary Love Taylor.  Hunt will be represented by Eynde Frazier.

The first Nash County product on display will be Northern Nash's Tristan Marshall as he will be playing in the second soccer game of the Tuesday Night double header.

Football is the only game in town Wednesday and the new coach of Nash Central Chris Lee will be on the sidelines.  He is officially listed as Louisburg Coach as when the all star rosters were picked Lee was the head coach  at Louisburg High.

The lone Nash County football player  on the field Wednesday is Southern Nash's Aramahs Martin.  The one good thing about the coaches convention is when they all return home high school football practice starts August First.
