Double header Victory

Last night the Rocky Mount Gryphons were host to Hertford County in varsity basketball and both the girls and boys win.

The girls were lead by Tamishia Walker with 18 points, Alexis Farmer chippped in 14 and Tia Hudgins added 13. Those three scored 45 of the Gryphon 51 points in winning 51-31 over the Lady Bears.

In the boys action it looked like a two man show for three quarters as TaShawn Mabrey and Detrail Jenkins score forty of the Gryphon first fifty points before the outside starting making shots. At one point the Gryphons lead 65-46 but a fourth quarter rally by the Bears saw the final score at 72-65.

The girls are now 4-2 on the season and the boys upped their record to 5-1. Little time to enjoy as they are right back in action tonight against Beddingfield. Beddingfield swept the Gryphons earlier this month at Beddingfield.

Today is the last day of school before the Christmas break.

The NFL there are not that many teams that are just plain better than everyone else. Each week is more of who wants it more. Last night a desperate New York Giants team clobbered a hapless Washington Redskins team playing out their season for a coach about to lose his job.

If you had no idea what their records were before the game started it didn't take long to see who had a shot at the playoffs. The Giants win 45-12.

If you didn't know it already I think the AFC has dominated this year when they have played the NFC. How can you Tell. Going into next week's action the AFC has seven teams at 7-7,two at 8-6, and then there is Cincinnati at 9-5 leading the AFC North. You also have New England at 9-5 leading the AFC East. San Diego is 11-3 and the Colts are perfect so far at 14-0.

That's 13 of the 16 AFC teams right now have at least a 500 record or better. That could only happen unless they are dominating the NFC when they play each other.
