The Weekly Cross Country conference run was won by Rocky Mount as they beat Fike 54- 67. Gryphon Junior Mason Holt was the Gryphon top runner finishing second with a time of 17.44 on the Red Oak Course. Daniel Hannon and Zach Shea both were right together with times of 19 minutes and 19.01. The girls finished second behind Fike as Nefertiti Thigpen-Conyers was the top Lady Gryphon runner. She finished third over all.
The day after their conference winning streak was broken the Volleyball team lost for the second time this year to Southern Vance. Northern won their match on Tuesday against Southern Nash so they are one game back with three to play.. Rocky Mount is at Fike today while Northern Plays at Nash Central. Nash Central beat Northern the first time this year so this is a biggie for the Lady Knights as they try to stay within a game of Rocky Mount.
Next week the Gryphons are home Tuesday to Southern Nash while the Lady Knights are home to Fike. Then next Thursday is the showdown match at Northern.
Wednesday Southern Nash beat Rocky Mount in soccer 4-0.
Today is the Funeral for Nash Central football/baseball player John Stanley.
Friday night opens the conference football schedule. I think the most intriguing game is Hunt at Northern Nash. Northern defense has been excellent however their offense hasn't produced. Tarboro on Monday night had ten men in the box most of the time and only one man in the secondary. That one was Todd Gurley. Northern needs to throw to get the defense to give them a little respect.
Southern Nash I suspect will have their way with Fike if they hold on to the ball. Nash Central travels to Rocky Mount where all eyes will be looking to see the Bulldogs reaction to burying a teammate the day
b efore.
