Game one of the best of three title series in the Independent 2-A State Championship goes to West Chester Country day 7-2,  Game two is scheduled for 11am Saturday pending on the weather.  The State -Duke series scheduled for 2pm has already been moved to noon.  Since RMA could force a third game in the series and second game on Saturday at 3.30 by winning the first game  don't be surprised if they play earlier than 11.

J'Kyra Brown has been named as a member  of the East-West All star basketball game scheduled for July 22nd in the Greensboro Coliseum.  That week is the high school coaches convention and part of the entertainment is all the All Star games in football, soccer, and basketball.   This will be the last game for the Rocky Mount Gryphons all time leading scoring in women's history.  Next year she will be playing B-ball in Greenville for ECU.
