Well apparently I have not "blogged" since May 3, even though it doesn't seem that long ago, so I'm just going to let you know what is going on in my life at the current place in time.
The summer is starting off very well for me. I just recently started my internship at The Salisbury Post and my first article (I would call it a blurb) was in Saturday's edition of the Post (in the Area section).
My first assignment was covering the Apple Ugly eating contest over at East Rowan High School. This was supposedly the 50th anniversary of East's yearbook and so the yearbook staff threw a carnival to celebrate the occasion.
I was admittedly nervous because this was my first time going on a "real" coverage of an event. I definitely learned from my first experience and will hopefully not be as nervous the next time and just do my thing.
Other than that, the usual sign of summer is beginning to heat up. That would be Rowan County's favorite pastime, baseball. East Rowan's baseball team was not devouring Apple Uglies, but was nearly devouring their season right down the drain when they trailed the Piedmont Panthers by two runs heading into the 7th inning on Friday night.
I thought I had seen some crazy things last year, but apparently I had not seen anything yet with the amazing comeback put on by the Manic Mustangs. Zach Smith alertly stole home after David Ijames had hit the game tying single to win the game for East.
So East really did "steal" one literally and figuratively. The Mustangs move on to to face the Mustangs, Parkland that is, on Tuesday.
I say now that I really have seen it all, but judging by Friday's craziness, this may just be the beginning of the May maddness?!
Rowan County Legion is scheduled to start their season Tuesday at Randolph County. The majority of the legion team is comprised of East Rowan, so they will be missing some faces for a while.
Returning are veterans Trey Holmes and Billy Veal, fresh off their first years of college, should provide that veteran leadership to the team when needed. West Rowan's baseball season ended with a 6-2 setback at the hands of T.C. Roberson, so the players from West will be ready come Tuesday.
This summer looks to be an exciting one, so I guess you should stay tuned.
