Scoring Streak Ends

I don't have Charles Alston by my side to get it 100% right but Rocky Mount failed to score in a football game for the first time since the opening game of the 2001 football season. Don't hold me to the fire on this one but I think it ends at 121 games. East Duplin shuts down the Gryphons 14-0. Trailing 10-0 in the fourth quarter East Duplin added not one safety but two in getting their scoring total to 14.

I was in Henderson tonight following the volley ball team who went five sets with Southern Vance.

The opening set went to the Raiders 26-24. Rocky Mount showed more pep winning the next two games 25-16 and 25-19. The fourth set the Lady Gryphons lost 25-16 setting up the tie breaker in which the Lady Gryphons won going away 15-3.

The most consistent player for the Lady Gryphons was Lauren Campbell who in one game the team won eight straight points on her serves. All night long she had 15 diggs and set several kills up at the net for Tia Hudgins who was awesome at the net in the tie breaker blocking several shots at the net plus had her own kills.

Lady Gryphons who played three days in a row is now 6-2 on the season.

Heart break Tonight: My blog this morning I said Northern needed to hold Tarboro to twenty points much Like Nash Central did two weeks ago. But they needed to score which Nash Central didn't. Northern Did the defense part tonight and went toe to toe with the defending 2-A champions until as bad snap in the enzone with less than ten seconds to play turned a potential overtime game into a Sweet ride home for Tarboro.

The Vikes escape from Death Valley winning 9-7. There is no moral victory for Northern but I can tell you the Knights are coming. Those of you say what was wrong with Tarboro there was nothing wrong with them. They have started out the season playing three 3-A schools and are undefeated.

Tonight Cary Shuts out Sanderson 31-0 which is an indication for Northern that their foe last week just might be good so last weeks thumping was not as bad is it might have seemed for Northern fans.

I can't wait to hear the details on this game but I can't wait to hear the details on this game but SouthWest Edgecombe beat North Edgecombe 22-14. Last night Hunt beat Holley Springs 38-7. This sets up a show down next week between Hunt and SouthWest Edgecombe.
