Tuesday the two teams that will probably finish 1-2 in Volleyball met head on in the first conference game of the season and Hunts wins in five sets over Northern Nash. Rocky Mount took down Nash Central in five sets. As the VB season goes on unless injuries hit one of the top teams hard I think you will find Northern and Hunt finishing at the top.
Tennis opened the conference play with Rocky Mount undefeated and hoping to give Nash Central a bundle but the Price sisters and Nash Central bulldozed RM 9-0. It was the Gryphons first lost of the season. The Gryphons have three freshmen in their top six and their future looks bright regardless of the whipping they took from the Bulldogs.
Rocky Mount soccer went the first four games of the season scoring only one goal but the last two games have been able to find wins. Surely looks as if they are getting better as the season progresses. Conference play for soccer starts in two weeks.
Cross Country for the Gryphons is showing that it looks as if they will be between the middle toward the front as the season unfurls for both the boys and girls.
Football is off to a 3-0 start record wise and the buzz around town is people can see a difference is the quality of play. I think most people can also see a different attitude which sometimes comes from winning. You have to like what you saw against Hertford County because the team was undersized and yet was the best team in the second half. That did not happen much in the past few years as they were close at the half an faded as the game wore on.
I will get my first shot behind the microphone Thursday night as the Gryphon jv's play their first home game. Those of you that have not yet been in the new press box the PA and clock operator are in a room to themselves. The press has their own section. The second level is for cameras. If there is a major improvement in the new press box over at the old field there is not that 49 steps to walk up to get to the press box straight up like the old stadium.
Can you believe it but the NFL is on TV tonight as the run for the 2013 Super Bowl Starts.
