Northern Nash's starting point guard Mike Brackett had a hard time finding the range in the cross county rivalry between Northern and Rocky Mount. He clanked shots off to the right, air balled a couple but with less than a minute to played Brackett missed the rim twice and in both cases as they say he tickled the twine as Northern got the only four points from Brackett all night the last coming with 1.8 seconds to play as Northern Nash Dumps Rocky Mount in the Nash County Holiday Tournament 56-54.
DeShawn Freeman who once again was the main horse for the Knights lead the way with 23 to go along with the 26 he scored Monday to take home the MVP award of the tournament. His helpers included Darius Freeman with 9 points , Mitchell Wells with 9 and Devonte Payton score 8.
Rocky Mount was lead by Tecoby Hines off the bench with 14. Tevin Taylor followed with 11 while Bruce Applewhite had nine and hit a three pointer with just seconds left that looked as if the game might go overtime.
Northern Out rebounded the Gryphons 33-29 and both teams had 16 turnovers. The only barn burner of the entire Holiday tournament Northern Burns Rocky Mount 56-54.
If you had of ask me before the game which of the two championship games would be closer I would have predicted the girls game but it never happened as four Lady Gryphon players scored at least 12 points and Rocky Mount for the entire second half played at near a 15 point lead.
J'Kyra Brown lead the way with 16 and help came from Timisha Walker with 13, Tia Hudgins 12 and Marquita Hines 12. Hudgins hampered with foul trouble most of the night got the MVP of the girls game after having score 31 on Monday night.
Kadesha Richardson,Quanesha Lynch and Camille Branch hit double figures for Northern getting ten each. Northern lead 11-10 at the end of the first quarter but Rocky Mount push the lead to 31-18 at the half and they never looked back.
Rocky Mount girls are now 11-2 heading into the Christmas break while Northern Lost for the first time dropping to 6-1.
Northern's boys are also 6-1 and Rocky Mount takes the holiday break 10-3.
