A missed shot tip in by Donte Battle with two seconds to go in the game gave Rocky Mount High a two point lead and Battle added two free throws as time expires as Rocky Mount escapes from Hertford county with out a loss on this very young basketball season with a 63-59 win..
It took all of the first and most of the second quarter before the Gryphons found the lead and by mid fourth quarter had extended the lead to 11 points only to see Hertford County tie the game late leading up to Battle's Heroics. Battle finished the night with 22 points. Michael Hines scored 12 followed by brother Mason with 11. Jaquel Bryant was the fourth double digit scorer with 10. Rocky Mount has another road game Friday night as they travel to Greenville to play Rose High School before heading to Nash Central next week for the Nash County Tournament
There was never any doubt as the Lady Gryphons jumped to an 11-1 lead and never looked back in beating Hertford County for the second time this season. J'Kyra Brown scored her usual 31 but this night she had plenty of help from Kelsey Daniels 16 points, Carmen Richardson 11, Destini Parker 11 and Sakeya Battle 11. Those five players scored all 80 points in a 80-40 romp over Hertford County.
Tonight ESPN announced that former Tarboro football standout Todd Gurley had won the Herbie Award as ESPN's top freshman football player in college football this year. Interesting that Johnny Football Johnny Mansiel the Heisman Trophy winner didn't win the ESPN award too. Gurley rushed for 1,260 yards this season and is the first Georgia freshman since 1980 to rush for more than 1,000 yards in a season. The last Georgia freshman to do it was a guy named Hershal Walker.
The NHL season has been cancelled all the way to December 31st. If I was the NHL and it's players I would be worried that there seems to be nobody that cares whether they play or not. Has anybody really missed it?
Today ECU Athletic Director Terry Holland announce that he will step down. Holland who came to Greenville in 2004 has done a very good job in his time with the Pirates. It is hard to believe that Holland is 70 years old. I remember when he played basketball at Davidson College when Lefy Driesell was coach. I know a lot of Pirate fans are disappointed that only football got into the Big East . If the Big East continues to fall apart there might not be a Big East for ECU football by 2014.
