It’s the year 2000. I’m at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh. Philip Rivers is the quarterback of the Wolfpack and there is no shortage of hype around him.

Baseball and softball in this area seems to be in a great place.
Most of the teams are highly ranked in the region and state and the competitiveness that has been evident is no joke.

Nine weeks is all that remains in the school athletic season if you count the softball state championship week. For most teams, the year will be over long before that.

I’ve never been one to complain about athletes transferring. I don’t care if coaches jump from one job to another. Sure, you hate to see it, but it’s part of sports in 2025. The days of staying in one place are long gone in college athletics.
