Very sad news today – High Point Central baseball coach Andy Harper has passed away. He coached the Bison for seven seasons. But his impact in the community went far beyond. He will be greatly missed.

I am very, very glad to say that I'll be starting back at the Enterprise next week. In talking with our editor, Guy Lucas, I gather people asked about me returning with some prep sports starting back this week. So, I am very, very grateful for that.

This week completed my ninth year back in High Point. Over the years I've covered some very cool things — including 10 Duke-UNC basketball games, four ACC tournaments, three NCAA tournaments, two bowls — but I couldn't be more thankful to cover local sports in my hometown.

Just a couple photos from the memorial service for Andy Harper on Friday at Truist Point. Harper coached baseball at High Point Central and the North Carolina Baseball Academy. He also taught social studies at The Kearns Academy. He passed away last week.

Starting tomorrow I will be furloughed. It's a decision I certainly understand. I wanted to let you all know because I will not be doing any work, including posting on social media. It's certainly my hope and my plan to return once sporting events resume.

Word from Southwest (again this is very, very preliminary) is that Christian Martin is in intensive care but that the doctor's prognosis is that he'll be OK. I'm sure there's still a long way to go, but that's a promising start, all things considered.

Southwest coach Guy Shavers said during the press conference that the preliminary word on Christian Martin was that he was at the hospital and sedated. Hopefully we'll hear some good news in the coming days – that was honestly one of the scariest things I've ever seen.

Many people have said nice things recently about our awards. I knew in high school that I wanted to go into journalism, and I'm incredibly lucky to have stumbled into photography. I know I've said this before, but I'm just glad I have a small way to contribute to my hometown.

I did a little digging after last night's HPCA-WCA boys game and found that the teams played 18 times from 2008-09 through 2015-16. In 13 of those games, the outcome was 10 points or fewer – including five games in 2012-13 and 2013-14 in which every one was seven points or fewer.

I would like to suggest to athletes (and parents) to check your MaxPreps roster. And if you see your name is incorrect, please let your coach or AD know. Odds are that however it is on MaxPreps is how it's going to be in the paper. Believe me, we do want to get your names right.

I would encourage people to go out and watch them play. It doesn't even have to be "your team" – just enjoy watching them play (a high school game will run about two hours and likely cost you less than $20). Because stretches like this don't come around often.
