Winter Sports Start Rolling

One of the biggest obstacles for any coach that coaches a winter sport is the Christmas Holidays. You play three or four games and then school is out for a couple of weeks and everyone's routine is broken. You come back after Christmas and try to get into a new routine and then exams.

Tonight the Gryphons get back to the hard court as they travel to Ahoskie to meet the Bears of Hertford County.

The Lady Gryphons start the new year with a 7-2 record. They are relatively healthy as they begin the new year.

The boys have a couple of issues with injuries and personal reasons hindering the start tonight. they will begin the new year 8-1. Another issue that the boys face is HC had two football players who when we played them before Christmas were out with football injuries suffered in the playoffs and did not play the first time around. Tonight HC will be at full strength.

Friday night begins confernece action as the Gryphons will travel all the way to west Rocky Mount to meet Nash Central in both teams conference opener.

Still undecided is the makeup game with Rose which was postponed before Christmas when it looked as if we were going to get that snow which never happened.

The Gryphons lead the Wachovia Cup standing in the Big East after the falls sports and both basketball teams seem to this point in the early season to be the favorites to win in basketball. There are a lot of loose ends that need to be addressed as basketball get rolling in 2010 before we can say that the Gryphons are the clear choice in basketball.
