Thanks for taking my comment so well. It was intended to be helpful and I am glad that you took it in that spirit. I for one…and it’s just me,would prefer nothing rather than a ‘regurgitation’ of the News and Record. I think most people visit sites such as this one because they are not getting the desired information from their newspapers.

By the way…if ‘creative and interesting’ is your desire, maybe you should start a political forum. Facts aren’t usually important in that realm as long as it sounds good! LOL!

Very limited info on Northwest from the 5-3 win over Havelock and that’s why it was phrased that Logan Self must have done most it by himself. I make the most of what I can dig up with much of the info coming from the News and Record and if I don’t have names then I try to at least make the write-up sound half-way creative and interesting.

If I am at a game in person then I have a more of an opportunity to lay out the increase of names and numbers which is why I had a good amount of details on the Dudley-Patton game since I was at that one doing the radio broadcast.

Keep us on our toes, sometimes we need these good wake up calls. Thanks…..

Northwest Guilford(5-3) eased past Havelock 5-3 in the Crystal Coast Easter Classic being held down east and Logan Self did most of it himself on Tuesday for the Vikings leading them to the two-run victory.

I am not real sure why a statement like this was made. What stats do you have to justify this? Did he have all the hits that led to runs? Even if he did have 5 rbis’s, if they weren’t HR’s…someone else had to have done something. Did he strike out all the batters he faced? If not, someone else did something to help. I think what I saw was that he had 3 strikeouts out of 16 outs. Someone else helped out defensively. I am not questioning that Logan is a good player, only that he is surrounded by some great teammates that also had a part in the win, but for some reason they have been ignored.

Although we have many great players in this area, comments that attribute a win mainly to one player does nothing but diminish what baseball is… a team sport!

I just saw that new poll today over at thisboardrocks.com and Ragsdale at (10-1/5-0) has grabbed the #1 spot and the pre-season #1 Rocky Mount, I believe it was, has fallen way down in the Top Ten. Southeast(8-2/5-0) started out ranked higher than Ragsdale but the Falcons have fallen down to the #4/#5 range and Southwest has dropped out of the poll altogether….

Next Tuesday at SEG, and no fooling, this will be the Big One……

That Ragsdale-SE Guilford game will be a great one. Not only are both teams 5-0 in conference but Ragsdale is the new #1 3A team in the Impact Baseball Poll and SE Guilford is #4. Hopefully this will be the first of three (or more) games between two top flight teams.
