The Lady Gryphons of Rocky Mount High school had little trouble in dumping the home standing Lady Knights of Northern Nash in the Nash County Holiday tournament finals by a score of 40-21. The Lady Gryphons are now 7-2 on the season.
The Rocky Mount boys found themselves having to face off against the home standing Knights of Northern Nash and blitzes the Knights in the first half to lead 45-27. Northern tried to make a game of it in the second half but lose to the Gryphons 58-44. Darius Mcknight was named MVP of the tournament. The victory is number eight in nine games for the Gryphons.
The Gryphons will not hit the hardwood again until next Wednesday when they travel to Hertford County to meet the Bears in Non-conference action.
College basketball tonight Duke and North Carolina State both won. John Scheyer of Duke and Dennis Horner of State both lead their teams in victory. Coaches all the time pride themselves in being able to say that a player improved during their stay at their schools. Both Scheyer and Horner have gotten better every year and if the ACC player of the year was given out today Scheyer would probably win it.
Nash County's Julius Peppers has made the Pro Bowl for the Carolina Panthers. Peppers who has 10.5 sacks so far this season will pick up a 1.5 million dollars bonus for making the team. Not bad for a player who said during the off season he wanted to play for someone else. The bonus means Peppers who is making a million dollars per regular season game will make a little more in the all star game.
By the way my man Philip Rivers has made the team but I hope he doesn't play in the game, for the first time ever the pro bowl is being played the Sunday before the Super Bowl in the same city as the Super Bowl which this year is Miami. The reason I hope he doesn't play is, if the Chargers are in the Super Bowl he will be replace in the Pro Bowl.
Sunday will be the final game of the year for the Carolina Panthers. Who would have ever thought say a month ago that the Panthers might win this game with New Orleans. A month ago both the Saints and Minnesota looked like automatics for the NFC championship game. Today Green Bay,Arizona, Philadelphia and even Dallas may be better than both.
