Hunt last night did what championship caliber teams are able to do. Respond when someone slaps you in the face. Down 7-6 at the half to the Gryphons the Warriors stormed right out of the locker room down the field to take the lead and never blinked after that.
Southern Nash has shown that they can be as good as anybody when they hold on to the ball but you know every three or four games they have a five fumble night and fumbles just take away scoring chances even if you recover your own fumble.
Rocky Mount continues to struggle in Big East play in the second half. There is hope on the horizon for Gryphon fans however as the defense despite giving up three scores in the second half kept the Gryphons in striking distance but they need help from the offense. Just maybe come out and run the wishbone or some offense that the teams at the half could not adjust to and throw the other sides defense off.
Nash Central continues to struggle trying to score using their best athlete at quarterback where it is obviously not working. There are times when a coach has to decide what type of players do we have this year and what do they do best, not here is our offense you players learn to run it. The best coach I have ever been around adjusting every year to his talent was Daryl Allen while I was doing radio in Ahoskie. It didn't matter offense or defense he coached the system for the players he had.
What in the world has happen to the Northern Nash offense? They started out nobody could stop them. Their problem was they couldn't stop anybody either. Since conference play has started the offense has pressured the defense. Next week Northern and Nash Central collide. All Northern needs to do is help their defense just a little in that game.
SouthWest Edgecombe I think had the same problem Friday that President Obama had Wednesday. Looked as though the President had been watching his rise in the polls and thought all he had to do was show up for the debate. After three straight conference victories thew Cougars thought North Pitt was going to lay down for them and guess what both the President and the Cougars got thumped.
They keep right on ticking like a Timex watch but Tarboro had better start stopping people or they will not make it back to the 2-A championship game five years in a row. Normally by now they are showing signs that they are getting in the groove. A B Whitley being out of action on the side lines for the Viking defense is showing.
Rocky Mount Academy has won three games this year. There is no doubt that when the Rocky Mount Telegram does their end of year all conference teams the battle for Coach of the year will be between Jason Battle at Rocky Mount and B W Holt at RMA. The way their teams finish out will determine who wins that award.
