Results Good

Friday night Rocky Mount High took part in a scrimmage at North Johnston High and what I am hearing the results were very promising for Gryphon head coach Jason Battle.  I understand in the four segments in which the Gryphons took part in they had the upper hand in all four.  After doing well against Roanoke Rapids Wednesday night  the Gryphons now can focus on their season opener and the first game ever at Rocky Mount High when they host Bunn.

You probably have  already heard this but the Gryphon basketball team will return to the Holiday basketball tournament in Raleigh again this year.  It is not the defending state boys basketball team but the girls.  The Holiday Tournament over the years has brought in all of the highly recruited basketball players who are either playing in the Triangle or are being recruited to play in the Triangle.  That includes the girls and of course the Gryphons have J'Kyra Brown returning for her senior year and though she has committed to ECU the Tournament is still bringing the best in the state to Raleigh at Christmas.

I have one of those funny things that happen in life.  Last Wednesday when we carried Morgan to Campbell University we were at lunch and Morgan sees on FaceBook that Mason Holt had been accepted to Campbell for 2013.  We were very close to the track at Campbell and Morgan sent Mason a picture of the Belk Track at Campbell.  She put on the caption your new home in 2013.  Hope to see Mason in church Sunday to see if he is going to run Cross Country and track at CU.

The PGA had a weather delay much like what we had in our area tonight and all the leaders still have at least nine holes of the third round left to play.  Luck plays a big part in any sports event but Tiger was in the middle of three of the worse holes of golf he has ever played back to back when the rains came.  The other end of the spectrum the leaders were dropping everything in the hole and couldn't miss any shots. It will be interesting to see who benefits the most from having to stop and wait till Sunday morning.
