The opening night of the high school football the four main points of emphasis by the referees were on display this past Friday night. Working the sidelines with the chains and being on the sidelines of South Granville there was one thing that was very noticeable and that was how calm the sidelines were. The NCHSAA has made vulgar language on the field of play or the sidelines a personal foul and ejection from the game for just one word. How refreshing it was that I never heard one word all night from players or coaches that could get anyone tossed out of the game. The only question I have is why has it taken so long for this to be part of the game again.
The double team chop block by lineman has been outlawed but there was not one called all night. I don't pay that much attention to the line during the game so I can't tell you whether that is still an issue or not. The other two points are minor and one is the clear or white mouth pieces is allowable these days. The other point was all pads have to be covered by the uniform they can no longer stick out and seen. Didn't notice one all night. There were two helmets knocked off during play and on both incidents each player gather his helmet and ran off the field for the one play required to sit out.
Josh Hamilton from Raleigh was released by the Texas Rangers yesterday possibly ending a career that had the makings of superstardom but drugs reduced his career to just a really good ball player. 1999 Hamilton was the number one draft pick but by 2004 was out of baseball from drugs.
Hamilton was never able to shake free of the desire for a drink or drugs so when he returned to baseball in 2007 he had to have an escort to take him home after every game because he would stop by a bar for a drink or buy drugs if left alone.
His return saw five years making the all star team including one as the MVP of the league. His greatest moment was the home run derby competition in which he hit close to fifty home runs but failed to win the night.
Hamilton has been plagued this season with knee problems and the Rangers say that this release has been done in order that the Rangers can negotiate during the off season with Hamilton to return next season after his knees have healed. I hope he gets well enough to keep in baseball and only time will tell.

Minor League Baseball Season Is About Over
Those wanting to move up in the ranks of pro baseball the season is getting short. Only those that will get called up to the big club in September will play much in September unless your team is in the minor league playoffs.
Somebody that I have not mentioned all summer is Isaiah White from Greenfield Academy who was a third round pick of the Miami Marlins last year. He was sent back to the New York Penn League this summer and he has struggled with the bat. He is hitting 222. He is listed as the number 17 prospect of the Marlins. He has tremendous speed but speed doesn't make you hit the ball. He's got to start using his speed to get on base.
Whit Merrifield since his return to Omaha after spending six weeks with the Kansas City Royals is hitting 276, 8 home runs 27 RBI and 17 doubles. Whenever Omaha season ends he will finish September in Kansas City.
Collins Cuthrell in Florence Kentucky. Batting 217 for a team not associated with any major league team. Only way to get a team interested is put up numbers that make people take notice and 217 is not that kind of number. He has hit 13 home runs which leads team. His RBI total is 53 which is second on team.
Hobbs Johnson has appeared in six games since arriving in Soiux City Iowa. His first two appearances were awful but the next four have been much better. His ERA after 1.3 innings was over 19 but he has reduced the ERA to 5.4 in 11.2 innings. He is 1-1. Since being released by The Milwaukee Brewers in late June Hobbs is looking for a team to sign him and give him another chance next year. He may not have enough innings is Sioux City to attract attention.
Benton Moss 7-9. His ERA has dropped to 3.80 which is best it has been all year. Since Fourth of July has dropped ERA almost three quarters of a point. That is what the big club is looking for not necessarily wins and losses. Expect Benton to move up to AA next spring and maybe play fall ball somewhere this fall.
Brian Goodwin since he has come back to Syracuse has picked up where he left off. Hitting 284 11 homers and 63 RBI which leads the Chiefs despite being in Washington for 16 days. When ever the Chiefs season ends will be heading to Washington to be with Nationals for the stretch drive to the playoffs.

There's Only One Color Red White And Blue
The Olympics ended last night and there is one thing about the Olympics, for 16 days every country that has tv's focuses on the games. Regardless of whether it soccer, basketball, track and field swimming every country that has an athlete they pull for their country first and for the person representing them second.
We pulled for everyone who wore the red white and blue. My years covering sports for the most part I have covered mainly three teams. Starting in 1971 through 1988 spring I covered Ahoskie High. In the fall of 1988 Hertford County went to a central high school and then my coverage was Hertford County until 1993.
I spent 1993 and into 1995 covering sports in Fayetteville and it was a game of the week covering all teams. 1999 started covering game of the week on WHIG TV and in 2001 covered Gryphon Sports. Since 2010 when I have been on tv or radio it has mostly covering all the teams. Over the years I have been asked this question. How many white players are on the team or how many are black. My standard answer is, I don't know all I see is the A on the side of their helmet for Ahoskie, HC for Hertford County or RM for Rocky Mount.
If there is one thing that sports does better than any other it has no color barrier. If you are the best you play. Team sports because everyone on the team is working for the same goal everyone is a brother or sister because they work for the same goal, winning in what ever sport it might be.
Sports unites people who care about the same thing. We all love it when we can say we are the best at something. It doesn't matter what color they are we won. The United States of America won many metals during the Olympics. Can anybody tell me what color won any of them. They were all Americans. Each of us that have a certain high school they pull for an in most cases you either attended that school or you children go to that school now.
I hear this all the time"he graduated from Northern Nash and I don't understand how he pulls for Rocky Mount now. It probably has something to do with where your kids go. We all have our reasons. I lived in Ahoskie for 40 years and never thought I could ever pull for any high school but my alma mater.
We all that live in the USA our Alma mater is America. All those athletes represented us so we pulled for all of them because we want to be represented by the best in the world. The only color that counted was Red White and Blue.

Reflections of Week One Football
The biggest surprise as far as score Friday night pertaining to Nash County schools was Northern Nash's 17-0 win over Corinith Holders. I am not shocked at them winning as every time they have played Holders it has always been a competitive game. The score is however. It is great to see Northern competitive again. They showed signs last year that the defense was sound and it is better than sound this year.
Sometimes the score doesn't tell all. Nash Central lost 42-0 to the Tarboro Vikings and yet showed improvement over years past. We all know in the last ten years Tarboro can play against anybody in this state so depth may be a major problem for the Bulldogs. We discussed one day last week about the program had sunk to a level where quality players were bypassing football at Nash Central. It takes time to win those type players back into the program.
I liked what I saw in the scrimmage when Southern Nash scrimmaged West Johnston and Goldsboro in Rocky Mount. When you have a coach coaching a program for nearly twenty years then year after year looks the same. Southern is big, fast and strong ready to run the football and pass to keep teams honest.
Rocky Mount was simply too fast for South Granville. Sherrod Greene has been getting all the press and attention but number nine Artavious Richardson was all over the field Friday night. Mckenzy Wright did his job at quarterback. Jalen Watson had some hard nose runs up the middle and would not go down on first contact. That type running last year paid off late in games last season when the Gryphons controlled the fourth quarter.
They are once again loaded with backs who can take it to the house on any play. Line needs to improve pass blocking. Only one pass was completed in a seven step drop back by the quarterback. The rest of the completions were three steps and throw. Wright did take a blindside hit and fumbled early in third quarter. The snap to the holder on extra points was not good. Three or four bounced back and Chase Miller had two kicks blocked but one went through the uprights anyway.
There is no reason Chase Miller will not get gobbled up by a D1 football program. He can kick the day lights out of football under pressure. You hardly hear that about kickers getting recruited until
The end of the season. If for no other reason his 38 yard extra point to tie the state championship game should have all D1 schools in North Carolina on alert.
Last night NorthEast Carolina Prep open the season at Apex Freedom who was playing their first varsity football game. Freedom 46 NEC Prep 13. Went 6-3 on Picks this weekend.
Thought it would happen and it did. Ryan Zimmerman was activated Saturday back to the roster of the Washington Nationals. Brian Goodwin was sent back to Syracuse. During his 15 days as a major Leaguer he was 4/16 with two RBI. The Syracuse Chiefs season ends Labor Day weekend and they will not be in the playoffs so I suspect by Tuesday after Labor Day he will be back on the roster to finish out the season in Washington.

Delay Of Game
The 2016 high school football season was an hour late getting started tonight as some how or other the crew set to officiate the game was told the game was rained out and by the time inquiries were made as to where the crew was they were an hour late getting in the house.
South Granvile wish it had of been delayed even more as the first offensive play a crushing blow by the Gryphon defense forced a fumble recovered at the Viking 17 yard line. The first offensive play is a pass by new quarterback Mckenzy Wright throwing to KJ Edwards for 11 yards. From there number 32 no longer Nick Bynum but look a like Jaylen Watson put six on the board just 28 seconds into the game. Chase Miller added the extra point for a 7-0 lead.
Three plays and a high punt snap gave the Gryphons the ball on the one yard line and two plays later Deangelo Collins makes it 14-0 at 9:11 of the first. Collins got the Gryphon third first quarter score of a five yarder with 2:48 of the first quarter. Jaylen Watson's 18 yard burst produced point 28 at 5:48 in the half. Gryphon air attack scored on a 49 yard bomb Wright to Charlie Williams for a 35-0 half time score.
The Gryphons came out flat to start the third quarter as they took second half kick off and ran out of bounds at their own 14. Two holding calls negated two nice runs and a Sack fumble gave South Granville the ball at Gryphon five yard line. Four plays later the Gryphon D gave the offense the ball at the nine yard line where the offense drove down the field. T J Sanders scored at 3:05 in the third and Chase Miller 6th extra point started the clock running.
Freshman running back Alston Curtis put the icing on the cake with a 8 yard run to make point 48 at 8:50 of the 4th. Final Rocky Mount 48 South Granville 0. The Gryphons rushed for 317 yards getting 86 from Watson, 80 from BJ Sanders, 65 from Collins. Wright was 5-5 88 yards passing for a total offense of 405 while the Gryphon Defense held the Vikings to 62 yards rushing on 28 attempts and 64 yards passing on 3-9.
The Chest pump game of the night for the Big East happened at Death Valley as Northern Nash who showed last year a good defense put a zero on the Corinth Holders side of the scoreboard . 17-0 shutout is a great start for the Knights.
Tarboro sent out a message to every team in 1-A football trashing Nash Central 42-0
Maybe the shocker of the night was not who won but the score . Edenton 46 SouthWest Edgecombe 13
Lumberton 33 Hunt 0
Rocky Mount Academy 50 Bethel Christian 18
North Edgecombe 70 NW Halifax 20

I'm For Year Round School
Here it is the first Friday night football game of the season for everybody and today is expected to be a heat index of 100 degrees. Ladies and Gentleman I do not think we can consider this football weather. When our last child Morgan was in elementary school she went to Winstead which was a year round school. I did not think much of the idea until we had been in the system for a couple of years. Now that I have seen year round at work it is a really good effective schedule.
It does not work in a system when a few go year round and the rest are standard. Parents have too many children on one schedule and other children on another causing parents to want to commit suicide.. The only answer in order for year round to work is the entire system just has to go cold turkey and say we are changing next year.
What we found out during our time in year round was the kids had three weeks off in September. We were able to go on vacations like the mountains with less people, even the beach was a more comfortable trip instead of bumper to bumper traffic. Another three weeks off in the spring and all of June off. Christmas time is off like standard kids. It really was hard to find anything wrong with year round.
If year round comes to pass and sooner or later it will change the high school sports calendar should change also. Year round new school year starts that first Monday after the Fourth of July. High school football practice should start the first day of school and start playing games the first Friday night in August which will end the regular season in mid October. I am of course against five playoff football games and would like to see it drop to four but even with five the football season is over the last Friday night in November.
Basketball now starts around the 15th of November but if football season is over in Mid October basketball could begin with no conflicts with first round playoff football games requiring players who still are playing football and postponing basketball games. The only conflict is the teams still playing in 4th and 5th rounds.
Because of the weather baseball has a tough time starting before March first and even then weather can be a real cold factor some days. Our world is ever changing and should year round be adopted by the state at some time in the future it might not be a bad idea to change the sports schedules around. If school started in July High school baseball could be a fall sport. The state playoffs could be over by mid November. Football could be a so called spring sport with first game in late February and playoffs over by the first of June.
No longer does school start after Labor Day so the farmers can use their kids on the famers to get in crops. Every school has air conditioning so the hot days of summer are no problem. There is one thing for sure, any schools system that tries to do both is making life miserable for everyone but especially for parents with more than one child.

It's High School Football Time
The Temperature is in the mid 90's and the heat index is near 100 or more everyday so it must be a perfect time to start high school football. The 2016 high school football season kicks off Friday night. Every team that plays football in the Twin Counties kicks off this weekend. It's time to begin a new year of guesstimating.
Bethel Christian @ Rocky Mount Academy: The second season as head coach starts for RMA's Terrell Hudgin. Several key losses will be hard to replace. The Eagles start the season 1-0. RMA 46 Bethel Christian 24
Northeast Carolina Prep @ Freedom: This is Saturday and what a way to begin a season as NEC Prep travels to Apex to take on Apex Freedom. This is the second year of Freedom and last season played a JV schedule. Good chance for Prep to win this one. Freedom 20 Prep 19
NW Halifax @ North Edgecombe: Should be a good way to start a new season for the Warriors. North Edgecombe 26 NW Halifax 7.
Kipp Pride @ Rocky Mount Prep: Prep will collect their first win of the season. Jags 26 Pride 14.
Edenton @ SouthWest Edgecombe: This is the a nice matchup to start the season for both. This will not be easy for the Cougars. SWE 35 Edenton 20.
North wood @Southern Nash: Question Marks at quarterback is biggest Firebird question. They are big and athletic and regardless of questions Firebirds open with a win. 45-25
Corinith Holders @ Northern Nash: The most silent team of the August practices has been Northern Nash. A mystery for sure. One thing for sure Holders is heading to 4A next year so they have plenty of players choose from. Corinth Holders 23 Northern Nash 13
South Granville @Rocky Mount: Expectations high in Gryphon Land and opening night should start the season off on the right foot. Gryphon's 38 South Granville 7
The game of the night will occur in Tarboro. The Vikings are looking five playoff games this season. Nash Central looking to get two wins to double last year. Over the last five years the Bulldog program has lost the luster of even wanting to be a football player. There are many who could play but won't help bring program back. The only comeback Tarboro is looking for is playing on state championship Saturday. Tarboro 32 Nash Central 6.
The collision of helmets begins Friday night.
