North Carolina moves to 3-0 on the 2009 football campaign as they sink the Pirates of ECU 31-17. Tarboro's Shaun Draughn had a big day for the heels running, catching and throwing the football.
Erik Highsmith who all Gryphon fans remember in the Eastern Finals for West Craven made his first start at wide receiver for Carolina and caught six balls for 113 yards.
Russell Wilson set the NCAA record for most pass attempts without an interception. The new total is 329 breaking the old record of 326. Wilson has eight TD passes so far in 2009 as the Wolfpack beat Gardner Webb 45-14.
Terrell Hudgins and Elon rolled into Winston Salem and played Wake Forest in football for the first time in seventy years. Elon was out of their league but not Terrell as he had thirteen catches for 113 yards and the only touchdown Elon scored 35-7 -Wake.
I drove by the sport complex about noon today and boy were the pigs cooking. The game was also smoking as this Down East Viking Classic was a shootout as ECSU out scores Chowan 35-30.
Last night's Southwest Edgecombe / Rocky Mount game didn't have the intensity that the past five games have had. I'm not talking about the players but the fans. There wasn't as many there as any of the last five. I guess it's because now it's just another game non-conference not playing for the conference championship as in the past.
Tonight I was at the Imperial Centre as the City of Rocky Mount honored the 2009 Tarheel senior little league State champions. It will be on the Stretchlon Sports Show in the future.
Just so you Gryphon fans don't start jumping off the RBC building, just to give you an idea how good Hertford County is they traveled all the way to Fayetteville last night and knocked off 4-A Terry Sanford 28-20. Sanford has already knock off Southview earlier this year and Southview is always playing deep into the 4-A playoffs.
