If you have ever watched basketball games on any TV in the United States over the past thirty some years then you know of Phil Ford. Tonight Phil Ford moved over to the passenger's seat as Tashawn Mabry became the all time leading scorer in Gryphon basketball history when a three pointer swished the nets in the third quarter.
Mabry lead an all around attack for Rocky Mount as Mabry had 31. He was followed by Detrail Jenkins with 15 and Tecoby Hines with ten. All twelve Gryphons who played scored as Rocky Mount crushes Northern 95-58.
Rocky Mount won the rebounding battle 40-25 but where the Gryphons were impressive was they committed only seven turnovers in the game. The three guard lineup with Tevin Taylor, Darius McKnight and Kenyatta Bulluck has produced good ball handling , outside shooting and excellent pressure on the ball. Either of the three can be the point guard and either can be the shooting guard. a tough match up for any team trying to play Rocky Mount.
The opening game saw the Lady Gryphons pressure Northern all over the court. Northern out rebounded the Gryphons by one at 22-21 but where Rocky Mount dominated is they forced 41 Northern Turnovers while committing 24 themsevles but those seventeen more turnovers produced a nineteen point victory.
Alexis Farmer lead the way scoring 19 points and Danita Whitaker added ten rebounds which was all most half of the Gryphon rebounding total
The first cycle through the conference both Gryphon teams are 5-0. The boys won their fourteenth with only one loss while the girls posted victory #13 with two losses on the season.
The Gryphons are home again Friday night against Nash Central
