American Legion Area III

thanks - now I understand.

Not sure about the football team but I am being cautiously optimistic. They return really good skill players and had a great JV squad last year. If they can develop a defensive line they will be tough to beat.

 

American Legion State Tournament...

Shelby's Keeter Stadium
Day 1, Wednesday August 4...

10am: Caldwell County(34-7) vs. Wayne County(27-7)
1pm: Kannapolis(30-8) vs. Laurinburg(18-7)
5pm: Greensboro(25-7) vs. Pleasure Island(20-7)
8pm: Shelby(23-13) vs. Garner(19-8)

-------------------------------------
Tournament is double elimination format and expected to run through Sunday Aug. 8.

 

you need to swap the game times between 10 am and 4 pm. Greensboro gets the early game - Caldwell plays at 4

 

Sorry Wossa, Greensboro had the early game initially, but there was a change in the schedule with the 1st and 3rd games for whatever reason. Don't know why, but the schedule I posted above is now listed on the State Tournament website www.shelbylegionpost82.com (then click on schedule), and also had this confirmed by 2 different local papers today.

Also according to other sources, I was informed that the Shelby radio station WOHS 730AM will broadcast each and every game live, and can be heard on the internet at www.theboss.us

Good Luck to Gboro and Ktown!!!

 

State Tournament Schedule changes again....

Well since I told Wossa that Greensboro was playing the 3rd game of the day on Wednesday and I even provided the website that showed it just in case I read it wrong,,,, now all of the sudden, the state tournament has changed the 1st day schedule back to its original format with Greensboro playing the 1st game of the day. Maybe someone simply made an error on the state website; nevertheless, it has been changed and "now" Greensboro moves back to the 1st game at 10am against Pleasure Island,,,, while Caldwell County faces Wayne County in the 3rd game of the day at 5pm. :huh:

 

State Tournament, Shelby

Kannapolis beat Laurinburg 4-2 in Shelby yesterday, while Greensboro beat Pleasure Island 11-3. Both teams advance to 2nd round of winner's bracket today.

Way to go Area III... :applause:

 

State Tournament 2nd day....

Kannapolis(32-8) advances to winner's bracket finals by beating Wayne County by a 5-2 score yesterday. Garner is the other winner's bracket finalist after beating Greensboro by a 10-4 score on day 2.

 

State Tournament...

Well Friday Aug.6 wasn't a good day for Area III. Greensboro was beaten 5-2 by Caldwell County and therefore eliminated from the state tournament in Shelby. Greensboro should be congratulated on finishing the year with a 26-9 overall record and the Northern Division championship from Area III.

Kannapolis was beaten by Garner on this same day by a 2-0 score; however, Kannapolis(32-9) remains alive in the tournment and will play in the finals of the loser's bracket today against the winner of the Caldwell/Shelby game. Good Luck Wojans!!!

 

Caldwell County scored 6 runs in the 1st 2 innings last night against Kannapolis and ended up beating Ktown by a 7-4 score. Kannapolis actually ended up outhitting Caldwell 13-11 for the game, but could never get the big hit and stranded 14 baserunners for the game. Caldwell will now face Garner for the state championship,,,, but congratulations to Kannapolis(32-10) for finishing 3rd in the state. You guys had a super year in winning the Area III championship for the 2nd consecutive season. :applause:
