  1. Paul, I'm surprised that Rocky Mount didn't put up more of a fight against Word Of God.

  2. Missed the first Word of God game but will definitely be watching them today.

  3. I'm not surprised, HC. WOG has some really big-time talent in its lineup (although I'm of the opinion the Holy Rams might be more of a collection of talent than a talented team.

    Rocky Mount has the sensational Tayshawn Mabry but not much else at that level.

    The really interesting matchup comes today (Saturday) when Kinston and Rocky Mount tangle in an endowment game.
