Full day
My mind was everywhere Tuesday. I listened to N.C. State women’s coach Stephanie Glance talk about Kay Yow.
I watched a few events in the Harrison YMCA during the NEW 6 Conference championship swim meet.
I watched Rocky Mount High’s Tashawn Mabry throw down a big dunk and score 27 points in a 69-60 loss to Nash Central. He did so in front of a few college scouts. The biggest name I saw was a tall man who wore a University of Pittsburgh sweatsuit.
North Carolina Central was on hand to look at Nash Central’s Trey Sumler, who scored 29 points in keeping the Bulldogs perfect in NEW 6 play. Sumler mentioned a few other division II schools to me who have shown interest as well. I believe he has Division I talent that is good enough to play at a mid-major school. Only time will tell.
A few thoughts as the day closes: Does any girl in the area run up and down the basketball court and finish as well as Rocky Mount’s Tia Hudgins? She consistently beat Nash Central’s defense down the floor in the fourth quarter Tuesday night as the Gryphons routed Nash Central by 28 points.
Can the economy be any worse?
I need to get to the movies sometime soon. I want to see a number of movies including Valkyrie, Notorious and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. There’s also a number of Red Box rentals I need to check out. Speaking of Red Box, Harris Teeter has the best ones in the city. They have two boxes, compared to just one in Wal-Mart. The one in Wal-Mart is always broken.
I like Wake Forest to pull the upset over Duke on Wednesday night and yank the Blue Devils from the dreaded No. 1 spot in the AP poll. No team seems able to hold on to the top spot.
Ellen DeGeneres has the best talk show on T.V. The only television I watch is in the morning, and her show is great. Simply put, it’s a fun show and she has a unique ability to make others happy.
