Gryphons Open League Play Winners

The Lady Gryphons got double figure scoring from Tamisher Walker (17) and Tia Hudgins (12)as the Lady Gryphons open Big East play with a 51-30 victory over Nash Central.

The Ladies are now 8-2 and 1-0 as they beat Nash Central for the second time in eleven days.

Marred by injuries and personnel problems the boys continue to win. Darius McKnight and Billy Young were the only Gryphons in double figures but each hit for 22. Gryphons win at Nash Central 78-67 to win their first conference game and their ninth win in ten tries.

Both Northern Nash and Southern Nash are swept by the Wilson County schools. Northern lost at Hunt and Fike took two from Southern.

Today starts the NFL playoffs and I think I have changed my mind every day this week.
The opening game has the Jets at Cincinnati and for the life of me I can't find a way to think the Jets will win. Saturday night I am sticking with Dallas but I am not all that confident in that one.

Sunday has Green Bay at Arizona and I think the healthiest team will win, Green Bay. Sunday night I think with Wes Welker being out for the Patriots that is going to make it hard for New England to score. I doubt whether Baltimore scores much either but I think they will have one more point than New England.

We pay a lot of attention to men's college basketball in this area and there is no doubt that Duke and Carolina women's basketball is of National quality. N C State sent shock waves through out the college basketball world Thursday night when the N C State women beat Maryland 73-45.

New coach Kelly Harper has the Wolfpack women at 11-5 in her first year after replacing Kay Yow. There is something about Harper that makes me think she is going to take State to a higher level that they have ever been including one trip to the final four. Seems to me Harper has Pat Summitt's replacement at Tennessee wrote all over her when and if Summitt retires
