Revenge

Earlier this month Beddingfield swept a double header away from Gryphon basketball in beating the girls and boys.

Last night at home the Lady Gryphon got even with the Beddingfield girls winning 55-41. Just a couple of weeks ago Beddingfield had won a close 45-41 game. Danita Whitaker lead the way for the Lady Gryphons with 15 followed by Alexis Farmer who added 13.

The Lady Gryphon finish up the PreCristmas portion of their schedule at 5-2. They play at 2.00pm Monday in the Nash County Holiday Tournament at Northern and they will meet Nash Central.

Beddingfield boys rained down threes in the first half and Gryphon Forward TaShawn Mabrey sat out most of the second quarter protecting two fouls. This lead to a ten point 37-27 lead for Beddingfield at the half.

The second half saw Beddingfieldg just 1-13 in three point shooting and TaShawn and Company took care of business winning 69-61. Mabrey finished with 21 points but Kenyatta Bullock tossed in two key three point shots in the third quarter while Beddingfield was missing theirs to turn the game around. Bullock finished the night with 13 points.

The Gryphons are now 6-1 on the season waiting for their next action next Monday night 6.00pm against Nash central in the Holiday tournament.

Good to see that Lindsey Thomas the Lady Gryphon #1 tennis player was named this week as the "Rocky Mount Telegram" Tennis player of the year.
