Friday night the Gryphon hosted the Firebirds of Southern Nash and came away with a sweep of all four games played.
The JV boys and girls were winners.
In varsity girls action nursing a 22-15 halftime lead, the lady Gryphons held the Ladybirds to just one field goal in the 3rd quarter and ran away from Southern Nash 59-32. Dyonna Battle lead the way with 15 points.
This makes the Lady Gryphons 2-0 in league play and it is their 10 victory of the season in 14 tries.
Charles Alston let me look at the years stat sheet for both the boys and girls tonight and going into tonight's game the Lady Gryphons had 238 turnovers in 13 games. That is a whopping 18 plus per game. Just imagine how good this team could be if they could handle the ball.
In the boys game the Gryphons played without Tashawn Mabry but managed to win without him 60-47. One point in the second half the Griffs had a 21 point lead. Down the stretch the Gryphons missed 15 of 20 free throws and at one point had missed nine in a row.
Back to the stat sheet the Gryphon boys are averaging 15 turnovers a game.
Just before both teams took to the floor for warm ups Alonzo(Bobo) Sharpe was recognized for hitting the 1,000 point club last Friday at Northern.
The boys are now 1-1 and 8-7 in round ball play.
School is out until Friday as the administration squares away the kids schedule for next semester. Testing ended today and Tuesday and Wednesday teachers work on student schedules for the spring.
Because of that no basketball until a trip Friday night to Fike and then Saturday night to Southwest Edgecombe.
Gryphon basketball games are the place to be if you want to find out information. Tonight Terrell Hudgins was in the house watching little sister Tia play for the Lady Gryphons.
Of course I had to ask whether he might skip his senior year at Elon to go for the NFL draft. I already knew the answer since yesterday was the last day for under class men to commit to the NFL draft.
Terrell will be back for his senior season at Elon and if he stays healthy he will become the all time top pass receiver in football history. He already owns all of Elon's records and almost all of the Southern Conference records.
It would not surprise me if number 19 isn't retired one day at Elon Station the home of the Phoenix after Terrell breaks all of the national records.
