Gatorade announce Wednesday the all District teams and the Player of the year across the state. J F Webb's Isaiah Hicks who the Gryphons saw up close and personal is the Gatorade player of the year state wide. The District 3 level Rocky Mount High school took all the top honors as both the boys and girls District 3 players of the year and the Gryphon's coaches also sweep the district as coaches of the year.
Donte Battle leads the all District team which is compromised by all classifications not only 3-A. Battle averaged a double double for the season 18 points and 10 rebounds per game. Joining Battle is Rocky Mount Prep player DeShawn Freeman who lead his team to the 1-A championship game. Also on the first team is Nash Central's Jaquan Wilkins.
The second team is chocked full of Big East as MJ Gainey comes from the Gryphons, Chi Ali Bunn hails from Southern Nash. Nate Pittman from Nash Central and Daniel Westbrook from Hunt.
Over on the girls side J'Kyra Brown is the District 3 Player of the year. J'Kyra who became the all time leading scorer in Rocky Mount girls history averaged 27 points per contest in leading the Gryphons. She is joined on the first team by Quinesha Lynch of Northern Nash and Alexus Hill. Khadijah Manning of Southern Nash also makes first team. The second team is lead by Carmen Richardson from the Gryphons and two Tarboro players N'Yasha Savage and Lisa Jones.
Mike Gainey is the District 3 Coach of the Year as he took his Gryphons back to the Regional finals after having lost several starters from last year's state championship team. Somewhat of a surprise is Pam Gainey won coach of the year over Grover Battle who's team lost just 3 times all year. All three of those losses were to Rocky Mount. Despite depth Gainey still lead the Gryphons to the 3rd round of the playoffs and in the last game was in it until the end on West craven's home court.
Gryphon Baseball was cold out or snowed out which ever you prefer. Right now there is no decision on any makeup date because starting next week all weeks will have two conference games except the Easter break week. The Gryphon pitching staff riddled with injuries has enough on their plate to pitch two conference per week and throwing a non-conference game in the fire which you know the back end of the staff will pitch that one that game just might never get made up.
