Weather Does It Again

This game tonight at Nash Central is already a make up game because of the ice last Friday pushed us to a Wednesday game following a conference game on Tuesday.  Guess what? due to possible tornado warning this afternoon  and tonight the games with Nash Central has been postponed until Thursday night.  All four games JV's and varsity will start as usual on Thursday.

J'Kyra Brown is being tested today to see how extensive her knee injury is from last night during the Hunt game.  She went down at the 4:01 mark in the second quarter and had scored five points  and at that point Rocky Mount lead 18-15.  That five point total is the lowest of her career at Rocky Mount High.  Every Gryphon fan holds their breath waiting on the news.

I am very disapointed with the amount of people in attendance at the Hunt game last night.  The gym was just over half full and considering this could have almost given Hunt the conference championship the place should have been over flowing.  I can assure you if Southern Nash was playing Rocky  Mount at either SN or RM the place would have been over flowing. 

I realize that Hunt is  a football school but people should realize they have a team capable of winning the State Championship just like Rocky Mount has and the crowd should have been standing room only last night.  There were as many Gryphon fans there as Warrior fans but the as big as that game was last night they should have had to lock the doors but didn't need to.

Thursday night I am scheduled to be at Rocky Mount Prep to cover the boys game for TV.  So this bring on a major conflict for me being in two places at the same time.

The Northern Nash - Hunt  game has been moved to Thursday just like other Nash County schools have.

Was there any surprise that Virginia took down the Pack last night?  Wolfpack fans can almost predict the outcome based on where the game is played and who they had beat the game before.  Losing Lo Brown didn't help their cause.  If Brown is out Saturday when they play Miami they could also be out of the running for first in the ACC and it isn't even February.
