Big East Coaches Say Central Will Win A Conference Game

 Monday was media day for the Big East Coaches as those that attended heard most coaches optimistic about the upcoming season and most did a good impersonation up of New England Patriots coach Bill Belichek as none told any secrets about any weakness they don't want everyone else to know about.

The voting was no surprise as Fike was picked 1st and Southern Nash Second.  Rocky Mount and Hunt received the same amount of votes to tie for third.  Now here is the surprise as Nash Central was picked fifth and Northern Nash 6th.

Nash Central who has a losing streak in the twenties something  and has not won a conference game in over two seasons.  There is belief that Nash Central has as good of talent as any team but coaching has been a major issue.  The Bulldogs  have a lighter non conference schedule and if they can break the losing streak by conference time they just may blossom into a viable conference foe for everyone.

If you analyze  the voting you would almost have to assume that coaches expect the Bulldogs  to win their matchup with Northern which if they end in a tie then the face off against each other would give the Bulldogs a better seed.   If any of the past few years is any indication anybody can win the conference title and in some cases with a least one loss.

Next year the NCHSAA is planning to realign going to 20 per cent of the teams being 1-A, 30 percent 2-A, 30 percent 3-A and 20 percent 4-A.  This Big East alignment is being looked at next year.  Fike, Hunt, Rocky Mount, Northern Nash and Southern Nash.  Nash Central will drop to 2A  and two new teams will join.  CB Aycock and Eastern Wayne.  If this is approved by the NCHSAA the conference would have seven teams and surly the Nash County schools would have a really close non conference tie in Nash Central.  Remember this is only a possible draft.

South Carolina came to Asheboro NC where the American Legion Southeast Regional was taking place undefeated.  The general conversation is they won't be undefeated long when they meet up with the likes of the Florida State champs, Georgia, Alabama Tennessee, West Virginia and North Carolina State champs and even the host team Randolph County who almost won the state title.

As teams began falling by the wayside  it came down to South Carolina and the host team Randolph County for the right to play in the Legion World Series which starts Thursday in Shelby.  Randolph who lost once over the weekend to South Carolina needed to win twice when it was down to two but they couldn't even win once over South Carolina losing 6-5 over the weekend and the title game 7-4.  South Carolina now heads to the World Series 24-0.
