North Carolina High School football coaches have voted out the football playoff Pod system which they have tried to use the past two football playoffs. The two years that it has been in play I have not heard anyone who liked it so why it took two years to get rid of it I don't know. Basketball will use the system this playoff year so if it didn't work for football then why should the Pod last more than this year before they throw it in the trash heap?
Today is the State 3-A Swimming and Diving Championships going on today at the Triangle Aquatic Center in Cary
Saturday is the State Indoor track Championships which will once again return to the Eddie Smith Arena the indoor track at UNC Chapel Hill. It had to be held outside last year because the ESA was remodeled. Gryphon Mason Holt has run the best qualifying time in 3-A this winter in the mile run.
Rocky Mount High School will host the Eastern Regional in Wrestling on February 17th and 18th. It all kicks off Friday afternoon and goes all day Saturday until the last match is finished. The Big East sent a bunch of wrestlers to the State from the Regional last year. Hope there is a conflict that night as that is Championship night in Big East basketball. Hope both Gryphon teams are playing.
Big East Wrestling Champs Rocky Mount had to have a road game due to a home basketball game last night and lost in the Duels to Western Harnett. Northern Nash as the #2 seed also lost so the only two team in the big East in duels are out.
Everything is set as Lady Gryphons unbeaten in conference play and losers twice this season take on one time conference loser and loser of only one game all season Northern Nash Friday night at Northern with the winner securing the #1 seed in the Big East Tournament and the #1 seed in the sectional. This pod system who knows what good being #1 will do. Remember the game at Rocky Mount three weeks ago was sold out by tap time of the game. This is for all the marbles so you had better be in place by half time of the boys jv game.
I bet you haven't thought about this. Neither Gryphon basketball team has lost in 2012
