Nash Central Draws the Gryphons

Nash Central knocked off  Northern Nash on Monday and Coach Rennie Taylor of Nash Central had an opportunity to scout the team that he will play for the Championship of the Nash County Christmas Tournament.  Coach Taylor got a real good look as he will face Rocky Mount in the Championship game Thursday night.

Rocky Mount had little trouble controlling this one from the get go and sail on into the championship game taking down the Firebirds 57-45.  This will be the second time this season the Gryphons will have faced a team on their home court trying to win a tournament as Rocky Mount beat Knightdale at Thanksgiving.

The consolation game in the girls bracket  was played tonight and the home team Nash Central took advantage of their own confines and wins the 3rd place game 53-42.

Thursday night's championship game both games with be videoed by WHIG-TV and the girls game will be shown this Sunday night.  The boys championship game will get air time on Sunday following Christmas. I will be behind the mic for both games.  There will be three games played Thursday as the 3rd place boys game kicks off the final day of the tournament with Northern Nash meeting Southern Nash.  The girls championship game takes center stage around 6:30 featuring the unbeaten Lady Knights of Northern Nash taking on once beaten Rocky Mount.  The tournament wraps up with the boys championship game after the girls wrap up featuring Nash Central and R ocky Mount.

Duke played for the first time tonight as the #1 basketball team in the nation and they played like a #1 team.  They had little trouble in Durham  against Cornell winning 88-47.  Last night the Pack took on a fairly good Stanford team and continue to show improvement.  This team works well when Lo Brown drives with the ball.  He opens up every body's game when he attacks the basket.
