Showdown Tuesday

Tuesday afternoon at 5.30 in the Rocky Mount High School gym the Lady Gryphons will try to avenge their only loss of the volleyball season.

They play host to the Northern Nash Lady Knights. This will be the rubber game this year as each side has won and lost against each other.

The Lady Gryphons beat the Lady Knights in the season opening tournament, however during conference play, Northern got the best of our ladies.

A loss would eliminate the Lady Gryphons from any chance of taking home the regular season crown.

Debbie Webb's team is off to an 11-1 start heading into this showdown with Northern.

I watched the boys soccer game against Northern on the Stretchlon Sports Show Sunday night.

If you pull for Northern, the word Gryphon sends chills down your spine while when Northern shows up in green, all Rocky Mount folks see is red.

You know what I mean - the soccer game was intense and victory for the Gryphons.

The Northern-Rocky Mount football game is only 18 days away.

Friday night's football game is Homecoming. Should be a large crown of alumni (like the Class of 1978 in town for their 30th Class Reunion) on hand to watch one of the best football teams in the state.

I'm not sure whether the football team is going to wear their new gold jerseys or wait until the Northern game.

I think it is official that the baseball team will be honored in front of the Northern Nash crowd and receive their state championship rings.

I wonder why they won't give them out this weekend???

YOU KNOW WHY ... IT'S NORTHERN!!

I watched the replay of the Rocky Mount-Hertford County game Saturday morning. I enjoy watching the game again because I can see things that you can't see when you have to follow the ball on every play.

I can tell you this - Hertford County is a good football team.

We made them look average.

I understand that Tuesday is dress-down day at Rocky Mount High School. Morgan has been giving us a fashion show here at home tonight as she is going way down on the dress down.
