Gryphon Girls Soccer "Off And Running"

Soccer added another victim last night and girls soccer is off to a 6-0 start on the season. Six games into the season the girls have scored 20 goals which gives them a 3.66 goals per game average. That total doesn't seem all that impressive until you see that they have given up a total of three goals in six games. That's .5 goals against average per game. If you relate that to football they would be winning every game 24-3 and that is impressive. Keep it up girls!

When you have two division one pitchers on your roster like Rocky Mount's baseball team has, expectations can be unrealistic. So far reality is living up to the optimism. Today Rocky Mount beat Rose 7-1. The Gryphons have swept Rose for the second year in a row. Four of the Gryphon wins have been against 4-A baseball. Now 6-1 baseball is home Saturday at 1.00 pm as the Tarboro Vikings come calling. That lone lost was to the defending 4-A champs so this is a great start for first year coach Kent Cox.

Collins Cuthrell provided enough power hitting a three run homer and Benton Moss beat Rose for the second time this year. This stat is provided by Charles Alston. Benton Becomes the first Gryphon pitcher since 1998 to beat Rose twice in a season. The Junior is now 17-1 pitching for the Gryphons in his career.

Boys tennis has had a hard time with the weather so far this spring. It is hard to play tennis with a wet ball and going into tonight's match at Hunt the tennis team is 2-1. One of those victories was a conference win against Nash Central.

The Gryphons were leading the Wachovia Cup after the fall sports and winter sports did not slack up on bit. The way the spring sports have started the Gryphons may very well win the Big East Wachovia cup and possibly be in the top ten in the state.
