Tempers Flare on Soccer Field

I may have a tendency to repeat myself on this topic, but here goes again: every time that Albemarle and North Stanly compete in something, everything is a little more heightened.
The awareness of who you’re playing. The desire to win. The drama that always follows the rivalry of these two schools.
Even for this rivalry, though, Wednesday’s soccer match was one for the books
I have never in my days of covering sports witnessed a game that was literally stopped before the end due to the ejections of coaches.
With as much rain making everyone miserable, fuses have to be a little short at the start.
I watched most of the game and did not feel like the play was too physical or chippy.
The pace was actually slower than the first meeting, with the torrential rains making the field slippery.
Debate may go on about whether or not the foul on Duke was legitimate or not.
Personally, it does not matter what I think because it was the ref’s call.
In the heat of the moment, we all get a little overwrought about referees, so it’s easy for me from a neutral point of view to say that the ref’s call is final.
What bothers me is that Albemarle still had eight more minutes left to possibly stage a rally.
That drama never happened, whether you blame the official or the coaches.
In a sense, everyone at the game got cheated out of that.

Big Volleyball Match tonight

Looking forward to the Albemarle-West Montgomery volleyball match tonight at Albemarle at 6 p.m. The Bulldogs are on a big winning streak and the Warriors have not lost a Yadkin Valley Conference match in over 60 straight contests. Albemarle faces the toughest test of the season after the opening loss to Mount Pleasant. Volleyball may not be a sport that garners a lot of attendance but I expect that this game may bring more fans to the building than normal. At least, I hope so...

Check today's paper for the football standings in both the Yadkin Valley and Rocky River Conferences...there are some surprises in both.
