Gryphons At Rose Tonight

You may be wondering why over the last week or so I have not said much about basketball and their progress this year. There are a couple of reasons.

My main source of schedule information is View My Schedule, for the past three weeks or so I have not be able to access Rocky Mount on the site. Yesterday it pops up but last year my number one source was daughter Morgan. She was a manager for Bernie Capps and help tape players before games.

During the fall she was one of the managers for Volleyball and many of you may not know over the past three years Morgan has had a problem with bruising. bruises pop up any and everywhere including her face. As of yesterday we have now been to 15 doctors from Nash,Pitt,Duke and UNC hospitals. I can tell what it is not but we don't know yet what is the culprit. We decided that she needed to take the winter off and help be the manager of softball in the spring.

Morgan not there my source of away games scores is not in place this year. So far this year the boys are off to a 4-1 start. They lost last week at Beddingfield but beat Rose at home. They are still trying to get everyone familiar with each other with all the transfers playing and I think by mid January this is going to be a very good team.

The girls are 3-2 with losses to Beddingfield and 4-A Wake-Forest Rolesville. One of their victories was over Rose's girl 64-16. Regardless of what the girls do this year they had a preseason injury to the possible starting point guard and will not play at what could have been full strength any this year. You can bet that Pam Gainey's full court pressure will pay off as the season goes on.

Tonight the Gryphons travel to Rose. Hertford County will match up with the Gryphons on Monday.

Has the world fell in on top of Tiger Woods or what? 16 women have come forward with stories to sell concerning their escapades with Tiger. Now word a doctor in which Tiger uses is a human growth Hormone doctor.

Looks like Randy Moss is close to wearing out his welcome in New England. Minnesota, Oakland and now New England Moss starts out like a house on fire and as time goes on he seems to get bored. That's too bad, Randy Moss may be the most dominating player of this decade or could have been.

What is up with old Roy Williams. Roy saw to it a non Carolina fan was tossed out of the last home game because he said "miss it Deion". The guy was on the 23rd row. Sounds to me like Roy wasn't concentrating too much on the game himself to hear someone on the 23rd row yell at one of his players.

Williams explaination was he was protecting the parents of his players not having to listen to negative talk about their children. If old Roy is all that concerned about what they hear maybe the next time he breaks out in a barrage of cursing he will remove himself from the game.

Can't wait to see what the Duke students may have for him when Carolina plays in Durham.
