The Rocky Mount High school doubles team of LindsayThomas and Kate Gray swept through the competition Friday and Saturday and won the Regional crown and qualify for the State Championships coming up this Friday in Burlington.
The team of Addie Keeter and Caroline Nelson won their opening match, lost in the semifinals which prevented an all Rocky Mount finals. Keeter and Nelson won the consolation match which gives them third place in the regional.
I honestly don't know how players can switch back and forth. Tuesday the entire tennis team host Union Pines in the team portion of the playoffs. If the Lady Gryphons win then it's back to doubles in Burlington Friday for Thomas and Gray.
The first round of the volley ball playoffs are over and in order to judge the strength of your conference your #1 and #2 have to win and the Big East got that in the opening round. Hunt yesterday advanced as well as the Lady Gryphons from Thursday.
If your top two lose then it shows the conference as being weak. The lower seeds did lose but the power of the Big East is still playing. Tuesday the Lady Gryphons play host to West Carteret the upset winner in the first round . When ever your conference has more than two making it to the second round that conference is strong and the Coastal has that with Conley, South Central still playingand West Carreret.
In the short history of Volleyball at Rocky Mount they have never made it past the second round. Volleyball is controlled by the tall players on the front line which historically Rocky Mount has never been extremely tall. The ladies face a tall task the rest of the way each team left in the playoffs is tall and athletic.
Both Tennis and Volleyball are home Tuesday and they need you support to be there to watch. Very seldom does either sport have more than mamas and papas and family there to watch. They both can be very entertaining.
