This spring baseball, tennis and soccer along with girls track either won the regular season in their sport or shared the title. Boys track finished second. Golf and softball are the only two sports that were not close to the top of the standings.
Zikeena Parker was named MVP of girls track after winning three running events the 100,200 and 400 meter runs. Devonte Jenkins won three events for the boys in winning the MVP of the meet for the boys.
Next event on the schedule for both Rocky Mount track teams is the eastern regional May 15th at Nash Central

Northern managed two runs off Benton Moss in the fourth to slice into the lead to 3-2, Rocky Mount accepted the challenge and responded with three runs in the fifth to salt the game away. winning 6-2.
The Gryphons collected ten hits including the Berry twins(Matthew and Thomas) with two hits each and two from Collins Cuthrell. Spencer Bell,Hobbs Johnson,Michael Whitehead and Taylor Clontz collected a hit a piece.
