View Full Version : N. Raleigh concedes to Garner Post 232
Garner Post 232 was winning 5 - 0 after 2 1/2 innings when Mother Nature interrupted the game. Garner was to return to Millbrook to complete game tomorrow night but Coach Barbour received a phone call on the drive home. It appears N. Raleigh doesn't want to finish the game, conceding this round to Garner Post 232. Garner will play the winner of the Apex/Cary game which was surely interrupted also by the weather.

They weren't going to 'finish" the game. The game was to start over. This is not tournament ball. Of course, if North Raleigh isn't interested in playing anyway....
Just telling you what I was told.
N. Raleigh only dressed 10 players. Shouldn't Legion teams have more than 10 players on their team?
I imagine when Coach Barbour said finish the game he meant Post 232 was going to finish off N. Raleigh.

In the past, suspending games may have been done even if the rules say otherwise. This is because we had incompetent people at the helm making up things as they went. Wayne County had a suspended game with Pitt 39, and the commissioner gave both teams losses.
This is not the case with the current boss. A playoff game is the same as a regular season game.

Respect is earned on the field. Respect gained on the field has nothing to do with winning the game or losing it. When a team has a coach like Moe, who truly knows from experience what I'm saying here, that team will be on top of their game or at least work their butts off to get there. Either one, they will win and lose with class.
Classy post marlinfan.
If a team says "No More", then the series is over.
Apex/Cary were ppd 7/17 in Apex and will start over 7/18 in Apex (Apex HS).
Post 232 awaits the winner.
No need to start sour grapes in this thread!!

I think that Benson only had 10 or 11 dressed for their final playoff game. Heard that several players had quit. I saw some players obviously playing out of position.
Legion ball is all about who wants it more at this point in the season. That's why you see the same teams advance in the playoffs each summer. Kids quit and want to go to the beach rather than win baseball games.
Apex should be the home team tonight even though the game is at Cary.

There is no truer statement about this time of year. teams like Kerr Lake, Benson, and N. Raleigh have dialed it in at this point and are barely able to field teams.

Wow...I'm sorry to read that. Can anything be done to change that.
Yep.
Make AAU/Showcase become Fall Ball and don't allow HS Summer Teams.

These high school summer teams are an absolute joke for rising jrs and srs. The competition is sub par at best. I went to a game this year in Durham, and I seriously had to leave after 3 hours- the game was only in the 4th inning.
Of the schools Durham Post 7 pulls from, 2 of the coaches will not allow anyone but graduating seniors/ college freshmen to play legion ball.

No need to start sour grapes in this thread!!Sorry that my post came over bold, like they usually do, I responded to what I perceived as a "not so humble" comment implying that one team gave up, and another team was cocky about it. I know that thats a generalization of a summary. Your post was not offensive. My reply was to point out to TBR that Moe Barbour is a class coach who would never cross the line of good sportsmanship by either his players, fans, coaches, parents, whoever including himself. BTW I've got two DDs.
