(Apex, Cary, and Green Hope) Their next game is Fri. against Apex. Despite loss Fuquay is still ranked 17th in new BA national poll slipping 2 spots from the previous week. FV-18-1(7-1)

 

Hey superman5:

I sure hope your going to be around next season and can help us with all of the Raliegh area ...... The Triangle Alliance looks murky from a distance except for South Johnston ... How do Garner and Millbrook look?????????? Your a lot closer than we are .....

 

Important games scheduled for today, other than my own...


C.B. Aycock at Greene Central
J.H. Rose at D.H. Conley

 

J H Rose was pushed hard all night by D H Conley down in an important Big East matchup but escaped with an 8-7 victory. This locks up the conference for Rose (18-1, 8-0 in conf play).

D H Conley falls to 5-3 in conference play, fighting Havelock for the critical last 4A playoff slot. Conley's record is now 13-7, 5-3 in conference play.

Meanwhile in heavy action in the 2 Rivers and Mid Southeastern conferences ....

South View 7, Purnell Swett 1
Pine Forest 4, Lumberton 3
Jack Britt 8, Westover 2
Seventy First 9, Hoke 8
Pinecrest 8, Douglas Byrd 4
Terry Sanford 10, E.E. Smith 3

 

Top teams in the Mid Southeastern Conference:

Scotland County 15-3, 8-1
Richmond County 13-3, 6-1
Pinecrest 8-4, 7-2
Jack Britt 9-10, 6-4

Top teams in the Two Rivers Conference:
South View 18-3, 10-1
Purnell Swett 14-8, 8-4
Cape Fear 14-7, 6-5
Lumberton 7-12, 5-5
Pine Forest 13-8,5-6

 

Hillsborough-Orange had to overcome a 4 run deficit, but they came back to win 7-5 against Person last night. This cements Orange in first in the PAC 6..

Person (my pick for third) has a tough uphill battle now with their 1-5 conference record, having to climb past Northern Nash, East Chapel Hill and Jordan, all at 2-4 in conference.

 

PAC-6 standings

Orange 7-0, 16-2
Riverside 5-2, 15-2
Chapel Hill 3-4, 8-9
Northern Durham 5-12, 2-4
Jordan 2-5, 10-10
Person 1-5, 11-8

3 games left to play(Person and Northern have 4), 3 playoff spots, still alot to settle

 

Just a few tidbits from some "far" far east locations.

Saw that W.Columbus is currently in 1st in the 2A Waccamaw. That conference seems to have been beating up on each other all year -- just an observation from afar.

East Carteret and East Duplin are currently tied for 1st in the East Central 2A. Both are 7-1 and have yet to play each other. They will go Friday and Monday. Croatan looks to be the #3.

North Brunswick will win the Coastal Plains 1A and Topsail will finish 2nd. #3 -- ????. Pamlico?

Clinton is currently unbeaten in the Tri Six 2A, but I'm sure W.Bladen is somewhere close.

In the Super Six 1A, Midway and Wallace Rose Hill are apparently tied for 1st, they play this Friday night. I think James Kenan is #3.

 

Nuff Ced

It's great to have you on the board .... I've been trying to update things for people in the western part of the state, but I have NO FEEL for the 1A/2A teams down in the the eastern part of the state. I know they are playing good ball. This thread has been hard to maintain all the way from Charlotte......

so finally again .....

WELCOME ABOARD
