Friday Mike Gainey two time State Champion basketball coach for Rocky Mount High who just a couple of months ago won the Charlie Adams award from the NCHSAA won the North Carolina Teachers Association (NCAE) award as the male high school coach of the year. Gainey won the award during the State NCAE convention going on in Raleigh through Saturday.
Round two of the high school playoffs three Big East teams begin play and Hunt as the Big East champion has survived to play another day and the Warriors beat West Brunswick 43-14. Hunt will play Douglas Byrd of Fayetteville who tonight jumped out to a 19-0 lead on Fike and held on to beat the second seed from the Big East 26-20. This sets up a third round match up of Hunt traveling to Byrd Thanksgiving Friday.
Southern Nash traveled to Eastern Wayne in the 3-A playoffs and the fourth seeded Firebirds lose on the road 21-17. I thought both Fike and Southern had their hands full as both lose. Heading in to round three Hunt will be the only team left standing and at this point the Big East overall record is 4-3.
Tarboro as expected had little trouble beating Camden winning 33-7 the easy ride ends next Friday night as Wallace Rose Hill will be in town as they beat Tarboro's conference mate Riverside Martin by a 43-14 score.
The third team from Wilson County Beddingfield traveled to Elizabeth City to playNortheastern and the season is over for the Bruins as they lose 43-29.
The basketball game on the schedule for Rocky Mount was put off due to Hertford County still playing in the football playoffs. HC lost to night 19-7 to Northside of Jacksonville. Northern Nash played basketball winning both games against Southern Wayne. Boys game was 65-58.
