Meaningful Games Today

The Rocky Mount Fike game scheduled for tonight at Fike has been switched to Rocky Mount due to the recent heavy rains has wet the Fike gym floor.  Luckily these two play again next week and that game is moved to Fike.

There may not be a bigger basketball game in girls basketball in North Carolina than the one that will be going on just off Old Carriage Road at Nash Central.  The always strong Lady Knights of Northern Nash 6-1 and 16-3 overall invade Nash Central  6-1 17-3.  It is not definite but the winner will likely win the regular season but there is still a week to go.

Missing some all star players this season Northern Nash is still at the top of the possible top teams in the state.  Nash Central has risen to the top this year with new talent and I bet it will be standing room only for this one.

Rocky Mount  3-3 10-6 at Fike 4-2 16-4.  The league has three teams with at least 16 wins and at this point with two losses Fike can't afford another loss.  Rocky Mount actually could tie Fike in the standings if they pull off the upset. Rocky Mount has Fike twice and Northern left on the schedule so they can do a lost of damage to the top tier teams or fall towards the bottom.

Southern Nash 0-7 0-18 at Hunt 1-6 3-16.  If Hunt loses this game they would fall into a tie for last.  Boy have they fell off the map this year.

The boys action will concentrate on the middle for teams tonight.  Two of the three games have the number 2-3-4-5 teams playing each other.  Depending on the outcome 5th could move to second and second fall to fifth.  the way this league is first has no gimme with last.

Northern Nash 2-5 12-7 @ Nash Central 5-2 11-9.  This is the third game of the week for Nash Central.  They had better not take for granted the Knights who still own the best overall record in the conference.  A Northern Victory they could be only one game out of second if the cards fall right for them.

Rocky Mount 3-3 3-13 @ Fike  3-3 8-12.  It is possible that Rocky Mount could be alone in second with a win.  Early season injuries are over and the football players finally  finding a groove makes Rocky Mount dangerous.  The other side of that coin is Fike and Rocky mount still have two meeting before the season ends.  The standings could really shift.

Southern Nash 4-3 11-7 @ Hunt 3-4 8-12.  Depending on the outcome for this one they could be tied or Southern near top and Hunt near the bottom.  Just seems as all these teams in the Big East are rather close in size and ability and any little annoyance to them during any game  can result in a loss.

Last night the University of Virginia made their second trip to the Triangle within a week and for the first time in her career J'Kyra Brown got her first Division one start at Duke.  Playing her career high 30 minutes and hitting three threes and a layup Brown hit 4 of 11 shots for 11 point.  Duke wins how ever 62-47.
