Time To See What We Have Got.

Friday Night Rocky Mount travels to Ahoskie to play Hertford County. Rocky Mount comes in 2-0. Hertford County will be sitting in wait with a 3-0 record.

The overall series against HC, RM leads 5-0. You have to believe the Bears think this is their time to knock off Rocky Mount. The Bears have ruffed up 1-A Gates County, 2-A Bertie and smothered Nash Central last week. The Gryphons don't have much edge on the competition having beaten 4-A Northern Durham who is 0-3 and 1-A Northampton East. Both of these teams will have a better feel for where they are after Friday night.

Drew Pasteur has made the Gryphons and eleven point favorite. I think that may be way high for this one and if we walk off the field a winner, I'll take it.

Tonight the JV football Gryphons showed the good crowd on hand that they know how to move the football. The also played poor defense but won a basketball game 48-36 over the Bears JV's.

Gryphon soccer beat South Central today 9-1 after beating Webb last night 4-1. So far this year the soccer boys are 8-0-2.

Girls volley ball wins their second conference game beating Hunt tonight. They are now 7-1 overall and 2-0 in the Big East 3-A. JV Volley ball lost for the first time this year at Hunt to drop to 4-1 on the season.

Gryphon football has a test at Hertford County. Kickoff is set for 7.30. I know everyone thinks HC is in another state but the stadium is really easy to get to. Take 64 east until you get to Highway 11 turn left and follow highway 11 until 561 which is about 40 miles. Turn Right, the stadium is 1 mile on left.

I could tell you all the short cuts but I realize it will be dark and you might get lost and not make the kickoff.

This is a special game for me. From the day I graduated from Ahoskie High in 1971 until I moved in 1993, I was in the booth for 183 wins and saw only 68 losses in the twenty two years I covered Ahoskie and Hertford County. It is going to be difficult to pull against them in that stadium.

If you don't travel catch all the action on AM 1390. Pregame starts at 7.00 with the kickoff at 7.30. Join Wes and me for all the action.
