The Rocky Mount Gryphon boys remained undefeated tonight at home as they beat South Central by a 54-39 score. This game was a tale of two different halves. The Gryphons had a great half of defense pushing the Falcons away from the basket and force many long range shots. South Central only turned the ball over twice in the first half. The Gryphons held the Falcons to only 21 first half points.
The Gryphon offense look like an Abrams Army tank with one wheel missing. They were running wide open and all over everybody and with 12 turnovers could only put eight points on the board in the second quarter and 21 for the half.
Then it seemed as the second half started that South Central could not get down court at all without the Gryphons knocking the ball loose and it jumped started the offense and the Gryphons had command the entire second half. The Falcons had 14 turnovers and many lead to Gryphon points.
Donte Battle lead the way with 22 points and 8 rebounds. On the night the Gryphons gathered 39 carom's while SC had 32. Rocky Mount had four different players with at least five rebounds in game. Mason Hines 5 boards 4 points. Jaquel Bryant 10 points five grabs. M J Gainey 7 point five rebounds. Ric Cherry lead SC with15 points almost half of the Falcons total.
The South Central girls broke open a close game in the last minute to knock Rocky Mount from the ranks of the unbeaten 55-52. Lady Gryphon J'Kyra doubled teamed all night let her team mates carry the load for the first two and a half quarters but down 38- 32 Brown scored twelve straight points without a Falcon point to give the Gryphons the lead but in the fourth quarter not enough help was provided by her Gryphon team mates and Rocky Mount falls .
Brown had 29 points while Carmen Richardson had 9. SC was lead by Daniela Murphy with 22. Next week Rocky Mount travels Tuesday to Hertford County and Friday to Rose before they play in the Nash County Tournament at Nash Central the following week.
Northern Nash boys one game win streeak ended witha 48-40 loss to SouthWest Edgecombe while Northern Girls humbled SWE again just like they have to everyone else so far this season.
The end of the golf season Cousin Lauren Doughtie failed to make the top list on the Futures Tour to qualify fo the LPGA Tour for 2013. Last weekend was the Q school for the LPGA and Lauren found herself tied for the last spot with seven other people and only three get in. I am very happy to say Lauren survived the playoff and has won her LPGA card for 2013. She shot a -3 for the weekend to get into the playoff.
