Monday night at Fike Rocky Mount boys beat Fike by what shall we say was a comfortable score. Tonight Rocky Mount has their running shoes on and hits the century mark for the first time this year taking down Fike 100-74. Kenyatta Bullock lead the Gryphon attack with 21 but every body got in the action.
The Lady Gryphons kept their unbeaten conference season going beating Fike 63-54. Fike has given Rocky Mount all they wanted in both of their battles this week. J'Kyra Brown sporting a shiner from Tuesday night's game at Hunt lead the way scoring 18 while Jameka Ruffin lead the Lady Golden Demons with 19.
Back during the fall on this website I reported that one of the greatest names in the history of Rocky Mount High School had cancer. I had been hearing rumors in the past few days of good news coming for Danny Talbott. Today I called Danny to be given the great news from him that his cancer is in remission. He must go back to Chapel Hill of February 14th for a Stem Cell Transplant. He has finished all his Chemo treatments and he and I enjoyed about a ten minute conversation.
I just want to tell you whether you are a believer in the Lord God All Mighty as I do or not but there is power in prayer. The entire Gryphon and Black Bird nation has had Danny in our prayers. I enjoyed listening to Danny talk about his faith and of course about Carolina during our talk. We need to keep him in our prayers because the job is not done, he is winning the battle but that dirty old BIG C fights hard battles.
You will have to endure me once again this year on WHIG-TV as I will for I think the 7th year host the Relay For Life Countdown Show. The past decade it has been on Monday nights at 6.00pm but starting Sunday we will be live at 2.30pm and it will be replayed at 6.00pm on Tuesday night. They wanted to do it live on Tuesdays but I told them they would have to go without me. Tuesday night is ball games of some sort whether basketball or baseball between now and the Relay in April.
