Sweet Revenge

The Lady Gryphon soccer team has one conference loss heading into Monday's match with Hunt. That lost was at Hunt by a 2-1 score. Another big crowd was on hand as the Lady Gryphons shut out the Lady warriors by a 3-0 score.

This game was knotted 0-0 at the half. Twenty five minutes left it was still nil-nil. Syndey Browder out raced the Hunt goalie to a ball that was loose in front of the Hunt goal with 21.18 left in the game and kicked the loose shot in for the first goal of the game. Any time that a tight match gets a big shot one way or the other Rocky Mount's spirits rose while Hunt's dipped and it did not take long before a corner kick was guided into the net by Casey Cooke and the Lady Gryphons lead 2-0. Alison Raper put the icing on the cake for the Ladies giving the Lady Gryhons a 3-0 victory.

I told you on Saturday that when I left the Fike game they were leading 2-0 and won 2-1. Two straight school days the Lady Gryphons beat Fike and Hunt.

Across the street at the softball field Beddingfield beat softball 15-1.

Tuesday and Thursday baseball and softball are home this week. They only have Northern and Nash Central on the docket. I think coach Eddie Loesner of Northern will not be there as he has one more game to serve after being tossed out of a game last week. Coaches get two games suspension when they get tossed.

I will be on the PA Tuesday as Wes has already called to tell me he will not be there . Thursday I will be taping the softball game for TV.

Yesterday during my updates of local players who are playing college I told you of Gabe Brown playing for Lenoir Community College. I found out today that Lenoir has two Gabe Browns playing on the team. Can you imagine that two people named Gabe would even be on the same team much less have the same last name. The Gabe hitting 417 is from New Bern. I will try to get an update on Rocky Mount's Gabe Brown as early as possible.

North Carolina has been to the college world series it seems every year this decade. They were swept by Miami over the weekend and unless they have a complete turn a round North Carolina will not even make the ACC tournament this year.

Carolina is three games behind the eighth place team in the league and you have to finish eighth to make the ACC tournament. They have four series left this year and they are Virginia Tech, Virginia, Wake Forest and Clemson. Carolina needs to win nine out of twelve games and hope. They need pitching and they don't grow on trees during the season.
