Championship Time

We start off tonight with a well done to the Lady Gryphons tennis doubles teams. The ladies bring home a crown in doubles with the team of Kate Gray and Caroline Gray.

They had to beat their own teammates of Lindsey Thomas and Addie Keeter.

Caroline Gray lost in the championship match of the singles title or she could have had both the conference singles and double titles. The finals were hotly contested as the score was 7-5 and 6-4.

The Lady Gryphons open NCHSAA playoffs Tuesday when they travel to Union Pines High School in Cameron. First serve will start at 4.00pm.

We head to the final week of boys soccer with Northern Nash and Rocky Mount tied about as tight as any sailor's knot.

Both are 7-1 in conference play but the game that will probably tell all is Monday night. The soccer team heads to Fike. A victory will more than likely create a tie by week's end.

Whether you are first in the conference or second if you were to lose a draw might mean a road game over a home match.

However if the Gryphons don't win Monday there will be no tie.

The Volley ball team has completed its regular season and head to the conference tournament at Nash Central on Monday. The finals are scheduled for Wednesday.

I am scheduled myself to be there Wednesday for the Championship as I will be taping the game for the Stretchlon Sports Show.

Richard Sarmiento has done a very great deed for the community over the last six plus years with the Stretchlon show highlighting the youth of our area.

There is no doubt with the State Championship in Baseball this past spring that it may have not happened with out Babe Ruth Baseball and The Stretchlon Stars as many of our baseball players got most of their experience from both. Richard has been the backbone of both over the past 10 years.

The most important time in the football season begins Friday night. Conference play.... The Gryphons have already qualified for the playoffs but the whole deal is wrapped up in whether you play at home during the playoffs or not.

In the tenure of B W Holt the Gryphons are 2-2 on the road and 8-3 at home during the playoffs. It is awful hard to beat a good team in their pasture.

Don't forget Northern is in our house and Ring night for all of the State champions in spring sports will be passed out during a ceremony at Halftime.

Twenty seven victories in a row for the baby Griffs. There was one point in tonight's game where there was about a ten minute down pour. If you remember during the second JV game of the season there was a down pour and the rain did little to stop the Gryphon attack and tonight was no different.

The weekend is off and running for the Rocky Mount Gryphons as the JVs take out Northern Nash 48-12

I can't amagine anyone who would not want to go to the game tomorrow night but if you must miss the game Wes and I will bring the facts starting at 7.00pm on AM 1390.
