This Morning the 13U Nash County Babe Ruth All Stars crushed North Piedmont 10-0 to go to 2-0 in pool play.
Wow!!!! what a start for the Nash County Babe Ruth 13u all star team playing in the Southeast Regional in Greenville. Our guys held Lawrence TN the Northeast Tennessee Champions with out a run winning 2-0 in what had to be a great pitching duel.
That is only step one as they are back on the diamond this Thursday in round two of pool play taking on North Piedmont a Babe Ruth team from Statesville. North Piedmont lost to Tallahassee Fl 12-4 in their Wednesday game.
If this happens and Nash County beats North Piedmont and Tallahassee beats Lawrence Tn then both Nash County and Tallahassee will qualify for the semi finals which will be played Saturday. They meet Friday but they would only be playing for seedings as both would already be in to the Saturday games. That would bring into play do you save your best pitching for a possible Saturday semi's and Sunday final? Both must win today for that to happen.
I am shocked to hear that Tom Brady is going to fight the NFL on his four game suspension. The ruling from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell really didn't say directly his four games was upheld for any cheating in relations to deflating footballs. He said it was for his unwillingness to cooperate with the NFL during their investigation.
We all as sinners in this world have it deep inside of us that the more power we have there are those who abuse their privilege to have that power. Tom Brady is the pretty boy of the NFL and since he works for the team fined more than any other in NFL history they the Patriots organization and it surely looks now that Brady thinks they are a little bit above the law.
There is no doubt throughout history we have seen plenty of abuse of power in this country. Richard Nixon already president wanting to make sure he would win his second term sent spies into the Democratic headquarters in the Watergate Building to see what the strategy was going to be against him in the 1972 elections.
Even Bill Clinton tried to tell us was the definition of it when he was in hot water over sexual conduct in the White House. When you reach a certain status in life you do what is necessary to keep that status whether you obtained that status by cheating or you earned it the old fashion way, worked hard for it.
There is that old saying that if you tell the lie long enough you will begin to believe it is the truth. Now near the end of his NFL career Brady wants to go out as an angel as his myth has made him out to be.
How valuable is Brady to the New England Patriots? The year he got hurt in the first game of the year they won 11 games without him. Peyton Manning hurt his neck and sat out a year for the Colts and they won the top draft pick for being worse team in league. Make your own assumptions.

High School Football Is Near
NASH COUNTY 13U Babe Ruth team has won their opening game in pool play beating Tennessee 2-0. They play Thursday morning at 10am in round two.
August the first is just Saturday and I bet there will not be one team that waits to August 3rd to start the grind. If they do they will already be behind.
The new man in town is Chris Lee who takes over the reins at Nash Central. He is familiar with the area already spending time at Rocky Mount before his stint at Louisburg done mostly to prove he could be a head coach. He already has swayed his former coaching buddy Kent Cox to leave baseball at Rocky Mount to join him in West Rocky Mount coaching football.
You know there has always been the feeling that Northern Nash has never been the same in football since Nash Central came into being that they have all the talent now. There is optimism that the Bulldogs have someone in charge that will change the loser mentality. A lighter non conference slate doesn't hurt either.
Randy Raper returns to head the Knights of Northern Nash. Ever since he arrived the Knights have been improving every year. There seems to be line issues that have held back any Northern step up to the upper stratosphere of Big East football. You know coach K didn't become Coach K until about the fourth year. The Knights have been competitive under Raper. A little more team speed would not hurt, but Raper knows how to coach high school football and this could be an interesting year for the Knights.
Brian Foster is back for another year of football at Southern Nash. The elder statesman of the Big East. Foster has been at Southern so long he has lost all his hair coaching the Firebirds. He is the only coach in the league who has been the head coach the entire run of the conference being called the Big East and NEW.
U
What that proves is he so planted in Bailey that his system works for the Firebirds. They are in the reload mode. Every player from middle school on knows the system and it works. You know if you look at programs who every three years have a new coach most of the time there is no consistency in the program younger players are caught learning a new system year after year.
Jason Battle is heading into his fourth year at Rocky Mount and last year he got that playoff gorilla off his back winning his first playoff game and giving a great effort in the second before going down. Speed should once again be an ally for the Gryphons. The next step up the chain of hierarchy in the Big East for the Gryphons is to get a grip on discipline both on the sidelines and on the field.
Battle has now been the head man at Rocky Mount long enough that he no longer needs to be compared to B W Holt. No he is not BW but look at his first three years and it is easy to see as he progresses as a head coach. Jason has won 24 games and the list is very short of coaches who have won more in three years at Rocky Mount.
The brand new coach of Rocky Mount Academy is Terrell Hudgins. All of the coaches in Nash County he bares the heaviest burden. Any thing short of a third state title for the Eagles football team is a step down. How well did the coach that followed John Wooden a coach that won 10 NCAA basketball title in 13 years. Can you even name the coach that followed Wooden?
The truth for the Eagles even in winning two private school titles in a row I doubt many expected three in a row even under B W Holt. The program is now in the hands of young football wise Man that succeeded in every sport he took part in in high school. Then in college left as the best pass receiver in DII history. He has spent two years behind center learning under the master Holt then the last three years on his staff at RMA. This is his first job making all the decisions. Every coach at every level from midget to NFL started some where at one time or the other as a first time head coach. The players will like him but only time will tell on his coaching style.
Cleaning up on left overs. The Host Rowan County won the State American Legion State title beating High Point Tuesday afternoon 4-3. They were 5-0 during the tournament. They now will move on to the Southeast regional that begins next week in Asheboro NC.
