Saturday in most every sport during seedings day around 3pm the word comes for teams to take a look at the basketball seedings and if there is a mistake call Chapel Hill. Once 6 pm rolls around the NCHSAA issues the final seedings and let the playoffs begin.
Today nary a word at 3pm, then 4, then 5, then 6 nothing. Finally at 6:25 word that the computers are down and the seedings will not come out before Sunday afternoon. Oh well, what a modern world we live in. Never had this issue before the computer age.
Five wrestlers from Rocky Mount three and two from Southern Nash made it to the State Wrestling championships Friday and Saturday.
Wrestling in the 285 heavyweight division Southern Nash wrestler Kendrick Watson won two matches. Rocky Mount's Keyonte Williams wrestling at 132 pounds took two wins. At 113 Rocky Mount's Rahsun Lawrence got one victory. David Jacob 106 of Rocky Mount and Vyshaun Richards 170 of Southern Nash failed to win a point.
The North Carolina Wesleyan basketball seasons are on the verge of ending as a result of Saturday's action. The men needed to win both games this weekend but you need the first before you can win the second, especially when this game is against a team you can pass in the standings.
LaGrange comes to Rocky Mount sporting a 7-5 record while the Bishops 5-7. There is a chance if every card fell the right way the Bishops could get to 7-7 and a tie for fifth. It will not happen as the Panthers have to much shooting , rebounding and defense and swat the Bishops 84-64 and with the other results from other conference game the Bishops will not make this years conference tournament after having won the regular season last year and was the host of the tournament. The Bishops season ends Sunday at 1pm when they host Huntingdon who is winless in conference play.
By the time the guys game ended up in Rocky Mount the Lady Bishops were beginning play in the women's tournament in Ferrum Virginia playing William Peace the team they passed in the standing just last weekend for fourth place.
The first three quarters the Lady Bishops led by as many as 12 but by the end of the third the game was up for grabs in the final stanza and the final score is not enough to keep the Lady Bishops playing another day. WILLiam Peace 66 NCW 60.
