All during the NEW-6 years Fike girls reigned supreme in Girls tennis. Rocky Mount has always had good teams but not good enough to beat Fike. This year started out the same, in their first meeting Fike whipped the Lady Gryphons 7-2.
Any time you play a team you hope when you lose in tennis you would hope for a 5-4 score. 7-2 is a right good thrashing. So the Lady Gryphons even though they have completely dominated every other team in the Big East still faced Fike at their place. I am not sure any one in Wilson had any idea they would lose to Rocky Mount.
Last Thursday the Lady Gryphons got revenge with Fike winning 6-3 at their place. Tonight the Lady's did their part in sharing the conference regular season. I stopped by on the way to pick Morgan up from the RM-Northern Volleyball game to take her to Tar River practice and after the singles were finished Rocky Mount won all six matches 6-0. They were in the process of playing the doubles when we left but the the six points was enough to grab a share of the conference regular season championship. If by some miracle Fike lost to Hunt today then the Lady Gryphons would win the conference out right.
The volley ball team put a capper on a perfect regular season as they beat Northern Nash in five sets. The fifth set was 18-16 a Rocky Mount win.
What a fall the Lady's sports program has had both volley ball were 10-0 and tennis 9-1 in conference WAY TO GO GIRLS.
Yesterday cross county ran as all members of the conference met for the fourth time this year. The girls finished second to Fike and the boys second to Nash Central.
Monday night is a big night in soccer Hunt 6-0 in the league comes to Rocky Mount 5-1. Hunt beat the Gryphons 3-1 at Hunt the first time around. If Rocky Mount has any thoughts of winning or sharing the conference title they must win Monday.
Football Friday finds the Big East 3-A playing conference games for the first time. Rocky Mount host Nash Central. Northern has a home game with Hunt and Southern Nash visits Fike.
Both Fike and Nash Central have made quarterback changes in mid season which have helped both squads.
AM 1390 coverage of Gryphon football goes on the web at 7.00pm Friday night.
