If you had any thoughts of going to watch the big match between RM-Hunt for first place in the Big East and sit in the rain, well you never had to do that. The game was postponed until Thursday October 22nd. What this does is that this could possibly be for the regular season championship because the 22nd is the last day of the regular season.
In order to make that game the championship the Gryphons must beat Fike at Fike this Wednesday. Then play three games in four days next week. Monday they will play Southern at Home, then Wednesday at Northern for what should have been the last game of the season and then Thursday Hunt at Rocky Mount.
The reason the game is being put off until next Thursday is Hunt has a Non-conference match this Thursday with Middle Creek. Next Monday they play Nash Central at home and finish up Wednesday/Thursday at Fike and then Rocky Mount.
So playing three games next week there is no advantage to anyone.
Tennis begins the conference tournament Tuesday continuing until Wednesday depending on how the weather acts. The tennis team will host a first round game at home next Tuesday Oct. 20th.
The Big East volleyball Tournament starts Tuesday at Southern Nash. Nash central plays Northern Nash and Fike meets Southern Nash. The Northern -Nash Central winner meets Rocky Mount Thursday at 5.00pm in the semi's . Hunt awaits the winner of the Fike -Southern match at 7.00pm Thursday.
The conference tournament championship game will be Tuesday at Southern Nash. In the past the volleyball tournament has been three straight days in a row but the coaches felt if the tournament finished this week that would be a week without playing for the #1 and #2 seeds. Rocky Mount for sure will open the playoffs on Saturday October 24th. Hunt will be the #2 seed as long as no one beyond the #2 seed doesn't win the tournament then they would get knocked out as only two teams make it this year.
Tennis starts tournament play tomorrow and if you don't already know they did beat Northern the other night 9-0, which means in ten conference matches our ladys had an overall match record of 73-10. they never gave up a single point to any team other than Fike. That is like saying the football team had eight shutouts during the season.
