Rough Computer Night

I would like to apologize for not passing along other scores from around the area Friday night but had plenty of WIFI issues in Buies Creek.Went. 7-2 on the night giving me a 20-5 record so far this year.
Misses: Fike 41 Kinson 34. It is obvious Fike is much better than I had given them credit.
Hobgood 72 RMA 40. The number of points was about right. Just not enough by the right team.

Wins:  Rocky Mount gets big win 26-19 over Hertford Co but defense exposed in secondary and small up front.  On offense th Gryphons have plenty play makers.

Tarboro over Northern Nash 21-7.   The Knights start playing a whole game they will be trouble for everyone.  Tarboro has depth issues when they play larger schools like 3A teams.  Should be fine when conference starts.

New Hanover 36 Hunt 13.  Hunt no where as good as the past 3 or 4 years but you had better be ready to play them when they appear on your schedule they are not a bad team.

SouthWest Edgecombe 28 Greene Central 7. Every one in Eastern Plains if you want to win the Conference championship runs though Pinetops.

Rose 34 Nash Central 6. Quite frankly I think the Bulldogs gave a good effort and could be trouble for everyone if they all get on the same page.

Southern Nash 28 Bunn 23.   The Firebirds are winning and look awful doing it. Look out if they get it all together.

Louisburg 54. RM Prep 14. About what I expected.

I will end tonight as once again today Campbell went five sets in Volley ball beating  Georgetown 15-10 in fifth set. If you go on line to the Campbell University web site and pull up today's story of their win over Georgetown the picture associated with  the story has coach Greg  Goral and the Campbell bench cheering the team on to victory.  You will see in the photo former Gryphon Volleyball manager  Morgan Doughtie leading the cheers.  Look the manager never makes the high lights so this is Morgan's big moment.

On The Verge Of A Heart Attack

Tonight Campbell Volleyball had their home opener and tonight they were playing Indiana St. And this one went five sets and all five games went right down to the wire.

Good Gryphon Friend Dominque Henderson  was feeding me text of the Hertford County/Rocky Mount football  game.  Hertford County found the Gryphon run game tough to deal with but scored first on a 56 yard td pass to take a7-0 lead.  The Gryphons respond but miss the extra point to trail 7-6.   Another screen pass will fine the enzone and HC leads 13-6.  Rashawn Harris will score on a41 yard punt return  and the game is tied at the half 13-13.

Not doing anything running the ball the Bears switch to the wish bone in the third quarter but guess how they score on another pass but the receiver fumbles into the enzone and HC recovers to lead 19-13.  The Gryphon defense picks up a fumble and rumbles for a touch down and with the extra point leads 20-19 still in the third quarter.  The offense adds another touchdown to lead 26-19.

Now back in Buies Creek we are headed to the fifth set with the score 11-11 and here comes a text from Dominque 1.59 to play the Bears on Gryphon 20.  volleyball is 12-12- 13-13-14-14 -15-15 16-15 and here comes a text Deangelo Hall int on a 4th and 14  Gryphons got the ball. 17-15 Campbell wins.  Then another text game over it is ours.

The Gryphons are 3-0 and with this win Campbell is4-2. After last year going 7-24. Three of their wins has been five setters with score of  17-15 -16-14-and 15-11.Too early in the season for these kind of games on the heart.
