There are so many brackets in the High School OT Invitational Tournament is is hard to keep up with who is playing who. This year the Rocky Mount High School Lady Gryphons are in the Mix 101.5 Bracket which has eight teams.
Wednesday night the Lady Gryphons matched up with Dudley High from Greensboro. It is apparent in this one that it will be height against speed as Dudley has a six five center. The Gryphon speed worked in the first half but by the time the final horn had sounded the Lady Gryphons need more than two players to score as Dudley whips Rocky Mount 60-54. J'Kyra Brown lead Rocky Mount dropping in 31 and Sophomore Carmen Richardson added 17. This gives these two players 48 of the 54 points scored by the Lady Gryphons. Moriah Davis lead Dudley with 17.
Now in the losers bracket the Lady Gryphons play at noon time on Thursday and they will face off against East Wake who was a 60-55 loser to Myers Park High School from Charlotte. The best the Gryphons can finish now is fifth as there will be another game on Friday.
The Boys hit the floor at Riverside High at 5:30pm today in the Tobacco Road Holiday Invitational Tournament. They will be playing Northside Christian Academy from Charlotte. This tournament is also an eight team affair and there will be three games played by the Gryphons.
Tonight Duke plays it it's first Bowl game since 1994. They are in Charlotte for the Belk Bowl which starts at the odd hour of 6.30pm. Since ESPN has control of all of these minor bowl games and they are trying to provide coverage of about 35 games air times of some of these games is ridiculous. Has any body noticed several of the games so far had more people working for ESPN that people in the stands.
That Hawaii Bowl the other night had maybe 1,500 people in view of the camera. Teams are required to buy so many tickets and I am sure that the teams in Hawaii lost money big time to be on national TV. Speaking of ticket sales, I understand State sold 8,200 of their 10,000 for the Music City Bowl game in Nashville against the home team Vanderbilt. I bet Vandy nearly sells the place out being right down the street.
