Just checking to see if this thing is still on.
Also, @Vontae__15 should be in the NBA, @pgoodrum22 will get to MLS soon, as will @_gregjones2 and @roupp5 to the MLB and get your @jaylen_sims rookie cards now cause he is playing well.
K thx bye again.
Turning this account back over to the StarNews, so if you need me head to @ByAlexRiley and hit follow. Someone will assume UNCW coverage duties here eventually. In the meantime, give @OwenHassellSN or @StarNewsVarsity a follow for local sports coverage. Thanks again.
.@_gregjones2 isn’t looking for the spotlight, it just finds him. But the @UNCWBaseball standout has found a way to deal with it and succeed at the same time starnewsonline.com/sports/20… – at Burgaw, NC
For the last time - The Beat and The Beard. So much to talk about, including Scalf, upsetting Hofstra, CAA honors and more. After 96 episodes, we're calling it a day. Thanks to @BSzeusBS for indulging me these last 25 months. Enjoy omny.fm/shows/the-beat-and-t…

Mel Hamilton's journey from Wilmington to @wyo_football was interesting. Once he got there, it took a path he never could've dreamed. His story as a member of the Black 14 is a winding path that still continues 50 years later CC: @WyoSports starnewsonline.com/sports/20…
Column: For the last 17 years, I've chased a dream while living a lie. My childhood said I was never meant to be a sports writer. Got ya. starnewsonline.com/sports/20…

Been chasing the ghosts of @BGMull, Chuck Carree and others for a long time. It was my privilege to try and catch them.
Thanks for the stories @AlexRileySN The Star News has had some good ones write about The Dub over the years but you were certainly one of the best. Best wishes with the new gig.
