College Record Could Fall Saturday

It 's not out of the realm of possibility that Saturday afternoon Former Rocky Mount High star Terrell Hudgins could become the all time leader in reception in the FCS history.

Hudgins needs fourteen catches to break the record. It will not be easy as Elon host Georgia Southern on Saturday. Good luck Terrell! If he stays healthy next week for sure.

Since I stayed home tonight with no game on the docket I did a lot of web surfing and I ran across something of interest. Brian Goodwin Freshman baseball player at North Carolina will be wearing #27 for the Tar Heels. To me 27 is a great number as Jim Catfish Hunter wore that number for nines years when he played for the A's. He wore #29 while he was with the Yankees because Mickey Rivers already had 27.

Now lets get Down to what Friday nights are all about.

The clash of the unbeatens in Pinetops saw Southwest Edgecombe host Kinston as the Eastern Plains Conference schedule began. Like last week against Rocky Mount the Cougars jump to an early 14-0 lead and run the clock out from there. SWE 28- Kinston 13

The other Eastern Plains unbeaten Tarboro hit the road but like the Big East a road game is not very far away. Tarboro made a stop on Highway 11 at North Pitt and stayed just long enough to wipe out the Panthers 49-7. Since losing their starting quarterback the Vikings have hardly noticed.

The southern most portion of the Big East Hunt traveled to C B Aycock and after winning their first three game the Warriors seemed like a super year was under way. C B Aycock stays unbeaten as they clip Hunt 13-7. Hunt drops to 3-1 on the ledger. In Wilson Fike who I can't figure out at all beats Eastern Wayne 23-14 to secure their second win of the season.

Nash Central hoping to win their second game in a row took on Bunn but Nash Central needed twenty to win the game. They could only muster 13. Bunn 19 Bulldogs 13.

Northern Nash outscored Southern Vance in the second half 2-0, The Knights only problem is they were down 22-14 at the half. Twice in the fourth quarter Northern was intercepted deep in SV territory. Close but no cigar for Northern 22-16 at Southern Vance.

Next Friday night Rose comes to Rocky Mount and tonight they were beaten at Scotland County 29-19.

I don't know if this makes any Gryphon fans feel any better but both teams to beat Rocky Mount remained undefeated SWE and Hertford County a 49-7 winner over Elizabeth City. Northeastern
