Losing Streak Continues

Lady Gryphon softball lost again tonight to Farmville Central 14-3. I know you reading this are saying that they must really be an awful team. I think any one who has seen the Ladies play so far this year have to admit that they are not very good but much improved over last year.

Coach Tara McDonald probably has the most upbeat team you have ever seen considering they are 0-3 so far this year. They have more fun that anybody who has beaten them so far this year have had. They may not win many this year but one is coming soon. Tonight they gave up five in one inning and four in another other wise they played a fair brand of ball.

Right now their hitting is lacking and much more work needs to be done. One problem a team that doesn't have pitchers that are fire ball pitchers has that during batting practice you don't see the pitches that you see in games. Too many of the girls are way behind on their swings. They had several innings tonight that they displayed very good defense and the very next not so good.

Varsity baseball lost at Southern Wayne 8-7 to drop their record to 2-2. Wednesday they travel to Louisburg and Saturday morning they play in Cary at the USA baseball complex at 11.00am. There has been some flip flopping on where this game was going to be played at but I understand is has been switched back to the USA Baseball complex. They are playing one of the Forsyth County schools that is loaded with D-1 Pitchers.

Varsity girls soccer has a home match Wednesday against D H Conley. Last week at Conley the Lady Gryphons lost 5-0. So far this season the soccer team is not having the season that Rocky Mount had last year.

I have no score but I have heard the the track team beat Rose Monday afternoon at Rose.

Saturday South Central boys and girls basketball teams play for the State 3-A titles in Reynolds Coliseum in Raleigh. If the amount of people who went from Rocky Mount to the Dean Smith Center is any indication with both of their teams playing there Saturday Reynolds should be sold out with only people from Greenville. That is of course assuming that Pitt county comes out in force like Nash county did last year supporting Rocky Mount in championship game.
