RMHS volleyball moves on

Saturday night was a good night for the Lady Gryphon's Volleyball team as they cruise to the second round of the NCHSAA playoffs.

They won 3-0 against the visiting Southern Wayne Saints.

It was victory #303 for Debbie Webb who is putting closure on a twenty one year coaching career when ever this season ends.

The season ended abruptly for the other three members of the NEW-6 that were in the volleyball playoffs. Northern was upset and Nash Central and Fike failed to make it out of the first round.

So the Lady Gryphons will carry the Banner for the NEW-6 for the remainder of the season. The ladies look for victory #20 in the second round.

Looking at College Football:

Former Gryphon and North Carolina High School athlete of the year in 2005 Terrell Hudgins caught two touchdown passes yesterday for Elon which were his 31st and 32nd of his career.

That makes him #1 all time at Elon for Touchdown passes. Yesterday was also the worst day of Terrell's career as he only caught three balls all day for thirty nine yards.

Elon has found a running game in the past few weeks taking catches away from Terrell. This new found offense has helped propel Elon to #3 in the FCS standings before this weekend's 42-7
Victory over Chattanooga. The Phoenix is now 7-1 on the year.

We need to send out a holler to former Tarboro Viking Shawn Draughn who for the past two weeks has gone over a hundred yards for Carolina.

Looked to me like Carolina needed to give him the ball more late in the game while they were trying to run out the clock.

What in the world has happened to Wake Forest? Just a few weeks ago they were as good as anybody and now their offense is dead in the water.

All four of the Big four schools bit the dust this weekend as Duke is beginning to play Duke Football that we all know and N C State keeps giving effort but losing.

ECU was the lone winner of our area major colleges but locally N C Wesleyan won over at Northern yesterday.

Looks like as far as the ACC is concerned Georgia Tech is the best team this week. All we have to do is wait until next Saturday and put someone else at the top for the week.

We are all creatures of habit. We like our high school football on Friday night and the NFL on Monday night. This week you can see what is now the battle for the out right lead in the NEW-6 as the winner will be the only undefeated team in the conference after two games.

Remember it is a 7.00pm kickoff which means we will go on the air on AM1390 at 6.30pm from the pressbox at Southwest Edgecombe.

I'll blog again after the game Monday night.
