Quite a few of his players played for Northern Nash, which reached the NCHSAA 3-A East regional final series two weekends ago.
The team he’s involved with during the school year, Eastern Wayne (as an assistant coach), not only beat Northern in that regional series, but lost out in the 3-A state championship series 2-1 to Lake Norman at Zebulon’s Five County Stadium last weekend. So he has had a lot on his plate.

| | 3271. | Lobby groups, legislators voice opinions on election reform
In terms of sheer size, the new election reform bill recently passed at the NC state level may seem monstrous. However, some local groups and politicians are calling it the Monster Law for another reason. The Democracy North Carolina organization, for instance, claims that the law spends more money while allowing for less voting, is based on Jim Crow era politics, and targets the suppression of voting by minorities and women.

If you aren't careful, you could put in an extra hour at church on Sunday. Not exactly like that "strenuous" service I was at years ago that made me realize that sometimes there's a fine line between a long sermon and a hostage situation. However, if you don't remember to set your clock back this weekend, it might look like you did some really bad stuff and needed some extra time.It's Daylight Savings Time, which brings up the question: we do we do this to ourselves?
