Here We Go With Weather Again

By conference tournament time last year the weather was causing all kinds of havoc with schools in session and whenever school is out so goes any practice after school to games being postponed.  The weather Wednesday night with the ground frozen from the previous two days every flake that fell Wednesday night stuck.

Tonight before the Fike/Rocky Mount games could start they were postponed to another date.  They did get the game in at Southern Nash as Hunt was visiting.  Yesterday I told you in the girls game that Even though both were 0-2 in conference I could not see Hunt losing to the Southern girls due to the lack of scoring.

Hunt averages 44 points per game while the Lady Birds only 18.  So the only way Southern could beat Hunt would be keep them from scoring.  The halftime score was 14-9 Hunt.  So it was set up that Southern on the home court had a chance.  Didn't pan out however as Hunt finished by getting their average and Southern hit theirs. 44-18 Hunt.

Hunt winners of three in a row including their first two conference wins need a win at Southern Nash in order to stay tied with the Nash Central who had won their third conference game on Tuesday night.  Tonight Southern Nash drops Hunt to their first conference  loss and in doing so The Firebirds tie Hunt at 2-1 in conference trailing the 3-0 Bulldogs.  Southern Nash handles the Warriors. 44-30.

Depending on whether there is any school Thursday both the Rocky Mount at Southern Nash and the Northern Nash at Fike games for Friday have been moved to Thursday to beat this incoming storm schedule for Friday Morning.  As I write this Wednesday night have not heard about the Hunt at Nash  Central game.  The weather is at it again and at this point who knows whether anybody plays Thursday or Friday.  Hopefully school goes Thursday to keep the schedule from getting to far out of kilter even before they have gotten around once in conference play.

Watching the Carolina and Wake game last night I had no idea that Carolina has six players averaging  in double digits.  You realize how much you have to share the ball to get players scoring at least 10 points every game.  Carolina looks like they will be number one come next week when the new poll comes out.  Carolina manhandled The Deacs 83-68.    Despite winning two national championships since returning to Chapel Hill this is Roy Williams best start 6-0 in conference play.  That is another hard to believe statement.
