Not A Bad Beginning

Bunn came into last night's game with Rocky Mount highly rated and there are times you can just look at players the way they wear their uniform and tell they are football players.  Bunn had that look last night.  You could tell they have been in the weight room and the entire team just had that look. The Gryphons have a few players that look the part but in general not the entire team.  With that being said take the kicker for Bunn out of the game and the Gryphons just might have won that game so there is plenty to feel good about this morning.

 The line is undersized  so this team will have fourth quarter worries as they get beat down during games.   J T Smith did a good job at quarterback as he was the best quarterback on the field.  If Mason Hines stays healthy the Gryphons will have a good running game.  This week they will surely pay more attention to kick coverage.  First time out for new coach Jason Battle his team gave effort until the end which is a drastic difference from last season.

One worry that I had at any new school with the way the parking surrounds the school is getting out when the game is over.  There were no issues as before the game you could not get into the school from the 301 entrance but when the game was over you could leave that way.  That really help traffic flow. 

Girls tennis is off to an impressive start as they went 2-0 on the week including beating highly  rated C B Aycock 6-3 on Thursday in their home opener.  I understand that three of the top six for the Lady Gryphons are freshmen and if that is true the future is brite for tennis.

Volleyball went 1-1 for  the week and as always the starting team doesn't have any height at all.  They will always struggle against anyone who can put up a wall at the net.  The good news how ever is they are quick but volleyball is won by the team that slapdown on the ball at the net not up and over.

Gryphon cross country will be good  as the guys are probably the favorites.  Hope you had a to chance to get to go to the open house last night and I know many stayed for the game.  The band has grown as there was almost 60players as well as flag corp on the field as even the band got off to a good start.
