The opening round of the Nash County Christmas Tournament has produced opening night results that everyone wanted to see. Unbeaten Northern Nash had all the wanted for a half from the home standing Lady Bulldogs of Nash Central but the second half was all Lady Knights as Northern rolls to a Thursday night finals with a 51-29 victory.
Northern beat Rocky Mount in the opening round of the Christmas Tournament last year and then proceeded to lose to Rocky Mount four times for the rest of the season, RM took the regular season game at RM. The last game of the regular season RM over came a 14 point Northern lead to win at Northern. One week later again at Northern; RM won the Big East Tournament. Then one week later with all the marbles on the table with a trip to the Regional on the line Rocky Mount won the bigget game ever between the two schools. There is no doubt Northern will be ready Thursday
night with practically the entire team back.
Rocky Mount opened the night by taking down Southern Nash 46-27. Rocky Mount has one blemish on their record to date and that was a home lost to unbeaten South Central by three. The Gryphons will have the best player in J'Kyra Brown but the question for RM will be if Brown gets enough help to compete with a Northern team which will play ten players.
The third game of the night the host Nash Central boys beat Northern Nash 66-52 to move into Thursday night finals. They will not know who they will play until Wednesday night when Rocky Mount takes on Southern Nash.
Wednesday night will start with the 3rd place girls game which will be the host Nash Central against Southern Nash and then the Rocky Mount- Southern boys game. Thursday will feature three games as the third place boys game will begin the night and then both the girls and boys championship games. Both of the remaining nights will be playd at Nash Central
