Tonight the Gryphons basketball teams make their longest trek of the season with a visit to Hertford County. Both the boys and the girls are 7-2 thus far this season.
Next Monday night the Gryphons host the Nash County Holiday Tournament. This is the first time that the tournament is being played before Christmas and I suspect the reason is to allow any of our teams that might be invited to the Glaxo tournament in Raleigh to be available. The Nash County tournament is just not the same when all four county high schools are not in it as happened in 2008. The Gryphons got a late invite last year to return to the Raleigh but had to with draw when they could not find any team to take their place in our home county tourney.
It will be a three day affair this year with three games opening night next Monday. The girls of Northern Nash will take on their counter parts from Nash Central in the 5.00pm opener. Second game of the evening will feature the Lady Gryphons playing Southern Nash. The night cap will put the Gryphon boys on the floor playing Southern Nash.
There will only be two games on Tuesday. The consolation game between the girls losers from Monday night will start at 6.00 pm and the Nash Central boys and Northern Nash boys will follow. Do you see what they are trying to do here? Gryphon boys are the Monday night attraction hoping for a big crowd. Tuesdays collision between Nash Central and Northern Nash boys the head liner on Tuesday. This also eliminates a long day two days in a row for the host school having to put on four games two days in a row on a school day.
Wednesday night's 5.00pm game will be the boys consolation game then the girls championship and boys championship will follow.
Tickets are $6 Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday for the championship night is $8.
You need to check out the Rocky Mount Telegram this morning. I reported here on this blog last month about Rocky Mount sports legend Danny Talbott dicovery that he had Cancer. The Telegram has a nice piece on Talbott today. Good read!
