Find This Interesting

Did anybody notice but I did for the first time Friday when checking to see how the Wesleyan men's tennis team was doing in the DIII playoffs.  High school plays all six singles first and if needed play the doubles to secure a win for any team.  I don't know if this is the way colleges do it all  the time but in the playoffs Wesleyan won all three doubles then all six singles matches started.  Once the first two singles matches were won by the Battling Bishops all four singles matches stop right where they were in their matches.  It takes five points to win a team match and after the two singles that finished first secured the 5th point everyone else stopped.  I would hate to be on the verge of a win and not get credit for it.

All four matches the Bishops were ahead in  so they could have won 9-0.  I thought that odd that a match would stop with a 5-2 in the second set after the Bishops singles player had already won the first set.  I guess I don't pay real good attention to tennis until the playoffs.

Saturday the Bishops lost to Emory University 5-1 to end their tennis season.

Rocky Mount girls soccer 15-4-1 plays their 2nd round Round  match Monday 5pm against Southern Lee 15-5-1   The rain over the weekend has forced the winner of this match into a third round match Wednesday with Jacksonville 15--5-3.  Should Gryphons win they host the Cardinals.

Another big day on campus today as the boys tennis 13-0 the top seed team in the east host Chapel Hill 14-1 fifth seed in East.  The winner Wednesday plays for the east region title and if the Gryphons win Monday they will host.  The two teams in the other bracket Terry Sanford 11-0 the 2nd seed in the east will host Northern Guilford 12-3

Both Rocky Mount Academy and Faith Christian have private school 2A playoff baseball games Tuesday. Faith 21-1 will be home to Westchester Country Day.

RMA. 13-8 has a long ride  to Northside Christian Academy in Charlotte.  The team will be leaving at 11am and no telling what time they will get home.

I Need some help can anybody with Rocky Mount Academy tell me what Pat Smith's record was while at RMA baseball from 2012 through 2015?
