Final Week Of High School Regular Season

Tonight Rocky Mount travels Southern Nash in a game the boys will be trying to hold on tight to third place. Regardless of the girls outcome they play Northern Friday for the conference crown unless Northern slips up and loses one of the two games they have before Friday. If they were to get slipped up on it would be tonight at Fike. Wednesday they play Nash Central and finish up Friday at Rocky Mount.

Wes Bradshaw and myself will be behind the mics this week as Wes will be doing Northern and Nash Central Wednesday, Thursday we both get a game when Faith travels to Rocky Mount Academy. Then Friday I will have the Northern -Rocky Mount game for what we hope will be the conference championship of the regular season.

Northern Nash and Nash Central wrestle tonight in section meets. Northern is at Cameron Union Pines where they will take on the home team Union Pines. Orange and South Brunswick will also be at Union Pines tonight in eastern sectionals.

Nash Central will wrestle Chapel Hill High School at C B Aycock. The home team Aycock will tangle with Jacksonville. Each winner in each sectional will then collide with each other.

If you have been on the "Gryphon Grapevine" this week then you have seen the 2011 Gryphon football schedule. The Gryphons open with three straight road games. If you consider that they had seven of eleven on the road last year and the last game in 2009 was at Northern then by the third game of next year's schedule Rocky Mount will have played 11 of 15 road games.

NC Wesleyan opened their baseball season last Sunday and won a double header. Former Northern Nash star Andrew Webb pitch five scoreless inning and getting the win. They play at home Wednesday afternoon and former Gryphon Chad Womble is scheduled to take the hill for the fighting Bishops.
