- The Lady 'Landers and Lady Vikings are still playing basketball. The Lady Vikings play Swain tomorrow night at 7:00 in Newland in a makeup game. Jamie will have you covered on that contest, and any other developments on that front. The Lady 'Landers play in the Region Championship tomorrow night at 6:00pm in Chuckey-Doak. The Lady 'Landers will play in the sub-state round on Saturday night. If they win tomorrow, the contest will be at home. If they lose, they will travel. We will keep you updated on the to
urnament schedule. - The college basketball season is really heating up. The Tennessee Vols beat Memphis in the game of the year, but then lost to Vanderbilt last night. The smaller conferences will start having their tournaments next weekend.
- Are you ready for some spring sports? It will not be long as Avery Baseball as already had a scrimmage. Jamie has a post below this one with the recap.
- The NFL combine had some impressive performances. One of those belonging to App State's Dexter Jackson. Jackson ran a 4.27 in the 40 yard dash (yes, I said 4.27) and improved his stock greatly. Who is going to be the #1 pick? It is anyone's guess.
- A special shout to AJT friend Matt Hill of the Johnson County Tomahawk. Matt always has an entertaining and informative take on the sports storys of the moment. Matt has posted an excellent article on his weekly blog about should writers be fans of the teams they cover (you can check it out at http://www.thetomahawk.com/Detail.php?Cat=SPORTS&ID=57313). His article brings up some excellent points, and it is a great read.
I hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoy the playoff basketball!
