Try Again Today

Say it ain't so:   Gryphon Baseball washed out again.  Now listen to this, the game will not be made up until the Monday of playoff week.  Rocky Mount already has three games next week Southern Nash  next Tuesday , Northern Nash  on Thursday at Hunt on that Saturday afternoon and then Monday May 9th they will finish at home with Fike.  The playoffs start May 12th



The Rocky Mount Gryphons will try once again today to play their conference game with Fike at 5.00pm weather permitting.  This game has now  been postponed twice because of rain and with Fike.

This is a must win game for Rocky Mount in their quest to insure a spot in the playoffs or even better a home game in the first round.  Fike is in a must win every game until the end and see how everyone else does before they can think about making the playoffs at all.  The last time these two met at Fike Benton Moss set the Gryphon game record of 20 strikeouts in a game in Rocky Mount's 8-0 victory over Fike

Thursday night at the auditorium at Rocky Mount High School they will be having the second annual "One Voice Talent Show.This years theme is Hope For  A Cure.  All funds raised from the event will go to the Pediatric and Oncology Department at UNC Hospital in Chapel Hill.  There is a $5 admission and the event this year is in honor of Holly Fryer a Junior at RMHS who last summer spent  time there  in Chapel Hill while undergoing cancer treatments.

The students are selling tee-shirts with the logo Hope For A Cure for $12.00.  The event starts at 7.00pm Thursday night and should last until about 9.30.  Come enjoy Gryphon Talent on display for a worthy cause.

Sunday night on the Stretchlon Sports show we will be having the sports department from the Rocky Mount Telegram on talking about their All Area Players of the year from winter sports.  Two of the players are from Edgecombe County and with Edgecombe County out for Easter break this week we are having a difficult time arranging for their appearance on the show.

Northern Nash and Southern Nash were also rained out last night in baseball.  They will try again tonight at 7.00pm to make that game up.  Northern plays Thursday against Nash Central so if tonight becomes a rainout Friday would be as early as possible to make it up.
