Like so many other schools in the area, Kerr Vance Academy has had trouble getting in games due to the recent wet weather. “Our first five games were rained out,” head coach Mike Rigsbee said on Thursday’s SportsTalk. The school has only just this week gotten on the field. They lost their opener 3-0 against Lawrence Academy while beating Faith Academy 5-4 in nine innings in their second game.
Rigsbee is optimistic about his team. “We’ve got potential,” he says. “We are young. One senior, three juniors, four sophomores, one freshman and an eighth grader,” he added.
The team is travelling this week to see UNC play. “It’s a bonding experience,” Rigsbee says. Next week, weather permitting, KVA will have three games on Monday, Tuesday and Friday.
