Baseball-Softball-Soccer Seedings Are Up

All five Big East baseball teams that have winning overall records have made the state playoffs.  The question I had yesterday could we move past Hunt in the seedings process the answer is no  because all teams have been seeded by their regular season record.  Conference tournament records have not been included.

Hunt 15-7 the regular season champion has a 4th seeding and they will open at home in the first round where they will host Gray's Creek 10-9 13th seed.

Rocky Mount 6th seed 14-6 will host Douglas Byrd 11th seed 12-10 on the year. This game will be played Tuesday night at 6:30 at Rocky Mount High.  Should the Gryphons win they are in the same bracket with Northwood 19-3 3 seed hosting South Brunswick 13-9.  Unless Northwood would lose the Gryphons travel in round two should they win Tuesday night.

Southern Nash 13-9 12 seed  will travel Wednesday to Rockingham County 19-3..   Nash Central 15-7 10 seed will travel 7 seed Cedar Ridge. 16-6.  Fike 12-10 16th seed will travel to top seed in east Northern Guilford 20-2
