Gryphons Home twice This week

School gets out for Christmas break after Tuesday so the Rocky Mount Gryphon basketball team will play tonight and Tuesday.

Monday night Hertford County will visit as over the past several years Mike Gainey and Hertford County Athletic Director Charles Simmons have developed a very good relationship and we now play Hertford County in just about every sport.

Tuesday Rose will be in gym as the Gryphon boys will be trying to improve on their 4-1 start and the girls 3-2 record.

Next week of course is the Nash County tournament and two more non conference games next week.

I am glad Ocho Cinco finally gave up on the idea of wearing teammate Chris Henry's jersey in his honor yesterday while playing San Diego.

All of the foolishness that 85 does back fired on him in this case. If he was a model citizen and not always trying to do things to glorify himself after big plays the NFL might have said "go ahead" but it was viewed as another stunt.

You have to say bravo to Cincinnati as they put up a tremendous effort only to have the Chargers win on the last play.

I'm telling you the best team in the NFL RIGHT now is San Diego. We will see again after next week.

I know you probably were not around at the end of this dud of a game but Carolina scored 21 fourth quarter points and beat a tire looking Brett Favre and Minnesota 27-7. Since Green Bay lost earlier in the day the Vikes had already clinched at least second in the NFC. Carolina had already been knocked out of any possible playoffs by Dallas Saturday night. Both teams played like they were going through the motions.

Wake Forest beat N C State as both teams started ACC play last night. For N C State fans it looks like the Same old same old. Even though they won I don't see Wake making the NCAA playoffs unless it is changed to 96 teams by then.
