WEEK FLYING BY

It feels like this week is flying by for some reason, it just doesn't feel like it's thursday already. Well there is less than a week of school left at least for the students around here except for Andrew who has to go until next friday, the CH teachers have a little more time left than the students but not much more. The Carolina Hurricanes crushed the Edmonton Oilers last night 5-0 to take a 2-0 series lead over the Oilers, don't count the Oilers out just though they have fought there way back several time this year in NHL playoffs. In baseball the Cincinnati Reds are now tied for 1st place after last nights 7-4 victory over the Cardinals, this is the 1st time the Reds have been in 1st place in June in about 1o years, lets hope they can keep it up. Not much else going on around here. MICKEY

ROOKIE DEVIL RAYS FALL IN XTRA INNINGS

The Rookie Devils season came to an end last night falling to the Rookie Red Sox in xtra innings 14-13, Andrew went 4-4 in the game and it appears that the Devil Rays did miss Coach Keith after all. I think Keith will returning home from NJ either tonight or thursday. I went out to the Matoaca game last night and it wasn't a good night for the Warriors as they fell to Oakton 12-6, Oakton got 7 runs in 1st inning and Matoaca was unable to recover from that, in the loss Matoaca committed 6 errors.

Tonight in Raleigh game 2 of the Stanley Cup finals will be played, the Hurricanes will be looking to take a 2-0 lead in the series before heading to Edmonton.

A GOOD TURNOUT

There was a very good turnout last night at the CHHS spring sports banquet, I would say there was at least 500 people there easlily and probably a bit more. We did not have chicken to eat either, we had roast beef, mashed potatoes, green beans and coke product of your choice and it was pretty good. My Victory Red truck turned another milestone yesterday reaching the 2,500 mile mark in less 11 months, that's allot of miles for me in one year. Andrews LL team has must win game tonight at 8pm, it's either win or go home tonight for them and they will be without one of there coaches who is in the garden state. The Matoaca Warriors will play Oakton tonight at 6pm at Matoaca in the quarterbacks of the state AAA baseball tournament, I will probably go the game myslef. The Carolina Hurricanes won game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals when Edmonton's goalie got caught out of the net with 31 seconds left in the game giving Carolina a 5-4 victory. Edmonton's best goalie injured his knee in the 3rd period last night and may be out for the series. In an injury update on me my foot and big toe are much better now but now my right elbow is acting up again and it is very sore. I have posted an old photo of mom on the beach from a few years back.
