Back From Vacation

I apologize for not checking in for a while. I took a brief vacation, and now hope to survive the summer and get to football season.
In some ways the summer is a great time for sports. Late June is always a little slow, but July keeps us hopping with the various all-star tournaments that go on around the area.
Our area is actually one of the few areas in the state that try and cover the Little League, Cal Ripken, and Babe Ruth tournaments. The problem is that you just can’t get all of them covered. Several years ago we decided as a station to try and cover as many “championship” games as we can. We promise to do this again this year.
Of course, if you are at a tournament and see a story that needs to be told, please don’t hesitate to email me at . We are always looking to tell sports stories that EVERYONE (sports fans and non-sports fans) will enjoy.
Also, we’ll try to get in as many scores as we can. You can call my direct line at 252-355-8555 for scores. We’ll try to get on as many as we can. We’ll also get those scores on our web site at http://www.wnct.com.
I had this past Monday off and watched the Tar Heel and North State championship games at Elm Street Park. Clark Branch will now meet East Carolina Chrysler-Dodge in the best two-of-three finals for the prestigious Greenville city championship. We’ve covered the series for years, and will do so again this year. Elm Street Park is an absolute gem for our city. If you want to see great baseball in one of the state’s best settings, then head to Elm Street for the championship series.
I want to wish all of the all-star teams in our area the very best of luck this summer. Keep the number and the email handy, and I’m sure I’ll see many of you at the ballpark…
