Volley ball Wins in OT

Tuesday night Volley ball traveled to Roanoke Rapids and got their money's worth before the night was over.

The first set the Lady Gryphons won 25-14. Roanoke Rapids responded by taking the second set 25-17. Set three was won by Rocky Mount 25-16. Back and forth we go as set four belonged to Roanoke rapids 25-20. This set up a dramatic fifth set.

In Volley ball the fifth set is only to 15 points and at the fifteen point mark you must win by two. It took more than fifteen to win as the Lady Gryphons remain undefeated with a 17-15 win over the Yellow Jackets.

Tab Wilcox's Lady Gryphons are now 4-0 on the season and travel Thursday to Southwest Edgecombe.

There is good news and some bad news for boys soccer. Monday the good news was they didn't let Roanoke Rapids score. The bad news is they didn't score either. Opening up with two wins last week soccer has now had back to back ties of 2-2 and 0-0. Soccer is at home tonight against those hated Rampants from Greenville Rose in another non-conference tilt.

Got word yesterday that the JV football game against Northampton East scheduled for 4.00pm on September 3rd has been cancelled.

I really like having Labor Day Friday off with no football. That is occurring this year due to the fact the varsity game was changed recently to Thursday the 3rd. The orginal plan moved the JV game also to Rocky Mount and have a 4.00pm JV game and the varsity play at 7.00pm the same day. Yesterday that plan was scrapped and no JV game only the varsity game at 7.00pm on Thursday September the 3rd.

Now with a three day weekend available Pat and I are heading to Atlantic Beach for the last hurrah for summer. Morgan will be gone to Camp Willow Run that weekend on a church youth trip.

If you are wondering why all of a sudden I have the volley ball scores? It helps to have a source and my source is my daughter Morgan. She is one of the managers of the volley ball team.
