If the Gryphons needed any help from the stands and support to help push them to a state basketball title, they got it and plenty more Saturday night.
I am saying 7,000 Gryphon fans were there but there is no way to know for sure. The pep band added so much to the excitement. Back in my high school days we had a pep band an I think next basketball season there should be consideration of having the band at every game.
I have never seen so many gold towels that the fans were waving. I think everyone who wears blue and gold can be proud of our team and the actions of our fans in representing the city of Rocky Mount and Nash County.
The 750 or so that greeted the team back at the gym after midnight just goes to prove one thing, bad things don't always happen on a Saturday night and you can have a good time without drugs and alcohol.
This is the fourth basketball title for Rocky Mount High. It is the eleventh title in all sports with baseball having garnered five titles and football two. Just maybe #12 can come in early June as baseball is looking good in the early baseball season.
Hope you had a chance to watch the basketball team on WHIG-TV last night on the "Stretchlon Sports Show". That was just some of the spoils that go with winning it all.
I need to take a day off. Got up too early Saturday morning considering Saturday night turned into Sunday morning real quick. Day light saving time killed an hour, even sunday night after we got back home from TV station Morgan down loaded her pictures on my blog as it was later than I wanted it to be hitting the hay last night.
There will be a pep rally in school today at 2.00pm for the CHAMPS!
