How many times in the last five years has a defensive player for the other team think they have made a play and Rocky Mount would get twenty yards or seventy five yards.
Tonight Gryphon football got a taste of their own medicine as Hertford County made the big plays when it looked as if Rocky Mount had made a stop.
What did this game mean to Hertford County? With less than a minute to play HC Coach Scott Privott got a gatorade bath from his players. This is only the fourth game of the season and no trophies were given out Friday night, but Hertford County ended a five game losing streak to the Gryphons when in all five of those loses HC thought they could win even though in some cases the scores were routs.
Talk about making big plays Hertford County picks a Gryphon fumble out of the air on the one yard line and rumbles seventy yard.
A bad snap from center on a extra point results in a two point pass play for the Bears.
As time is running out in the half Rocky Mount deflects a pass in the end zone caught by the intended receiver as he laid on the ground.
I can't count the times the Gryphon defense had HC in 3rd and twelve and they got a first down.
Tonight Hertford County made the plays and Rocky Mount paid the price.
If you look back over the years Rocky Mount has had a tough time defensing a scat back quarter back and tonight Rocky Mount had no answer for Antonio Vaughn who by the way got a hundred yards against us last year.
HC rushed for 268 yards and I would suspect most of that came on third down. Rocky Mount was held to 161 rushing but I bet they had several running plays that lost ten yards or more.
Collins Cuthrell passed for 102 yards on 9-17 passing but he was pressured all night in fact he had to make a throw left handed on one pass which he completed.
Too much Hertford County as the Bears whip Rocky Mount 41-21.
In other local action Northern Nash loses another close game 13-7 to South Central. Tarboro took it easy on North Edgecombe winning 46-6. Hunt also drops from the unbeaten ranks getting ripped by Southwest Edgecombe 42-8. Beddingfield beat Fike 27-7.
The only conference member to win was Southern Nash a 21-16 winner over Roanoke Rapids. I don't want to burst any Southern Nash fans bubble but that is not a good score for Southern. Southern is now 4-0.
Good news for Nash Central fans they did not play tonight. Almost all that did play wish they didn't as the Big East goes one win and four losses. Tough night to be from Nash County
