Big East boys basketball heads to the final night of the regular season and just about any thing is possible. Well, maybe not everything. Even though they can not have a losing season Northern Nash is the sixth seed. A victory Friday night at home over Rocky Mount can not get them out of the hole. At 2-7 12-9 the Knights are doomed for last.
Rocky Mount the team that lost their first 13 games this season have rebounded winning five of six conference games to stand 5-4. Should they beat Northern it is possible that Rocky Mount could tie for first with Nash Central and Southern Nash. To complicate the world if Fike 5-4 10-13 knocks off Hunt there will be a four way tie at 6-4. All of these what ifs haven't said one word about Hunt 4-5 9-13 who if they beat Fike could rise to 5-5
All this confusion could be erased with one simple fact if Nash Central 6-3 12-10 goes to Southern Nash 5-4 12-8 and wins. That would put the Bulldogs at 7-3 and the outright regular season champ
If Southern Loses they would drop to 5-5. If Northern beats the Gryphons the Gryphons fall to 5-5.
So we have started out with the possibility of a 4-way tie for first if Southern Wins, Rocky Mount wins and Fike wins. If Nash Central wins the title and Southrrn loses, Rocky Mount loses, and Fike loses and Hunt wins there is a 4-way tie for second.
Confused I think everybody is? What else could possibly confuse us even more ? Remember last year weather caused state wide panic when conference tournaments, district play and even the Regional schedule had to be adjusted because of weather. You do know what the forecast is calling for about 11am. Already Wilson County has cancelled school Friday. No Hunt/ Fike game before Monday and I guess you heard about Monday Right?
Let's talk girls they can't be this complicated. No Nash Central 8-1 19-3 travel to Southern Nash 0-9 0-20. The biggest question in this game is, can Southern score 20 in this game.
Rocky Mount 5-4 12-7 visits Northern Nash7-2 17-4. Rocky Mount could finish third with a win and Northern has second win or lose.
Fike 5-4 17-6 can still get third but Hunt 2-7 4-16 is stuck in fifth. Life it can be so simple.
Oh wait, by the time I can even finish this Nash County has cancelled so there is no basketball until at least Monday and we will have to see what Monday brings. If is as cold this weekend what falls Friday will still be here Monday and of course we are suppose to have more them.
Hearing that some schools have postponed games until Saturday. If the temperature is as low as forecasted Friday night/Saturday morning and if there is anything white falling on Friday where is it going on Saturday regional wrestling is in jeopardy. A repeat of last year could be in the works.
