Wes Bradshaw and I had a live show Friday night on AM 1390. It was suppose to last 30 minutes, from 7-7:30, where we talked Gryphon football even though we did not play.
We managed to stretch an half hour into 50 minutes before we gave the station back to Gospel Music.
When I got in the car, I turned my radio on and listened to the Nash Central-Fike game, which had the Bulldogs up 14-0 at the end of the first quarter.
The Bulldogs looked like they were going to be setting alone in first place in the conference if they kept this up.
I arrived home and it was almost 9.30 before I turned the game back on to see what was happening.
It is now 27-24 Fike, midway through the third quarter and I find out through Paul Andre that Nash Central had a 24-zip lead before the Golden Demons decided to act like the Boston Red Sox.
Fike routs Nash Central 46-30 by scoring 32 points in the second half.
This puts Fike, Nash Central along with Southern Nash at 1-1 in conference play.
Southern Nash managed its own rout - whipping Northern Nash.
So this sets up that whoever wins the SW Edgecombe-Rocky Mount game on Monday night will have a solid hold on first place in only two weeks and there will be a four-way tie for second..
Look at it this way. Rocky Mount has four conference games left and all four will be against teams with a shot as of tonight, of taking home the conference championship.
The impressive start that the Gryphons have had this year can still fall apart or with four more victories put this 2008 team in the same breath when you talk about the best teams ever at Rocky Mount.
We will now find out whether there is one team in this conference standing above the others .
