Game Of the Week Is All Northern

Game two in the 2012/2013 game of the week featuring Northern Nash girls and Rocky Mount goes to Northern Nash on their home floor by a 60-47 score.  Northern lead by 18 at the half and never let Rocky mount back in the game in the second half.

This completes the first cycle of conference games and Northern remains undefeated on the year and the only team undefeated in conference play at 5-0.  Rocky Mount falls to 4-1.  Friday night starts the second round. If Northern continues to finish in first place and since the POD is in effect there is a good chance that theses two could meet in the sectional finals again this year but this time at Northern.

Rocky Mount boys win at a very improved Northern 68-57.This game was close right down to the very end before Rocky Mount manages to pull away.  This game was tied throughout the game before The Gryphons were able to to get control in the 4th quarter.

Rocky Mount is on the road again Friday night as they travel to Nash Central.  As far as the boys are concerned you know that Nash Central wants to make up for that devastating crushing defeat Rocky Mount put on them in Rocky mount three weeks ago by 34. 

Now both the Gryphon teams having one lost and the girls trail Northern and the boys trail Hunt in the standings neither can afford a let down against any other team as they begin the second round of conference play.  The boys beat the Bulldogs in the Christmas Tournament on Nash Central's home floor as this will be their second trip to the Dog Pound this year.  The girls won by 15 or so at home the first time around against the lady Bulldogs but they did not meet Nash central in the Holiday Tournament.
