The Big East Conference Cross Country boys championship has been won by Northern Nash. Rocky Mount boys finished second. Rocky Mount High's Mason Holt is the conference champion with Northern Nash's Stephen Whitehead second and Southern Nash's Patel finishing third.
The girls conference champion is Fike while the Lady Gryphon women finished second. Nash Central's Micheala Williams was the conference champion. Nef Thigpen-Conyers of Rocky Mount finished third. All runners who finished in the top ten earned All Conference honors.
The playoff brackets are out and as expected Rocky Mount the # four seed from the Big East heads to D H Conley on Friday at 5pm. Rocky Mount and Conley have squared off twice during the regular season with Conley dominating in both matches. Last week Rocky Mount and Northern Nash played in a playoff game to give third place to the winner. By winning Northern heads to Currituck in the opening round and surely after you forget about the long drive have a much better chance of winning in round one than does Rocky Mount. Fike the conference champion is home hosting Jacksonville while #2 Hunt will welcome Washington.
This time there was a winner as Northern Nash soccer beat Rocky Mount 1-0 and in doing so grabs the #4 seed in next weeks Big East soccer tournament. The victory still leaves Northern on pins and needles until they see both Rocky Mount and Nash Central knocked out of next weeks tournament. RM and NC will have to win next week's tournament in order to displace the Knights from the playoffs.
High school football Friday night's big game is Rocky Mount at Southern Nash. If I was a guessing man Southern will pound the ball and if Rocky Mount can hang will be the difference. Will the two suspensions of Southern players effect this game? Who knows? Southern 26 Rocky Mount 14
Hunt travels to Nash Central and the entire season rides on a victory for the Bulldogs. Hunt only needs one victory to clinch first and I think this will be enough to motivate them. Hunt 34 Nash Central 20
Northern Nash and Fike collide and this is a needed game for both. Who is this most important to it hard to say. Northern can still get in the playoffs and Fike still has an outside chance to tie for first. Fike 26 Northern 20.
