I know it is early but the 2013-14 Rocky Mount Gryphons basketball team is getting plenty of press around the state as the possible pre season favorite to win the 3-A basketball title in 2014. Yet he Gryphons opened the season Tuesday night with a trip to Rose High and Rose will always give Gryphons fans a look see as how good the Gryphons might be in any sport.
Senior power forward/center Donte Battle already a three year varsity starter and the MVP in the State Champion game in Chapel Hill in 2012 lead the Gryphons in scoring tossing in 24 points and by doing so went over the 1,000 point barrier for his career as Rocky Mount crushes the Rampants 82-55.
Rocky Mount lead by 12 at the half and poured it on in the third and 29 at the end of three periods. The first game for the Lady Gryphons without J'Kyra Brown the Lady Gryphons lose 46-41.
Round two of the State playoffs Start with Hunt Hosting West Brunswick. At 4-7 WB is in that 3-A/4A league so most of their seven losses have come to the bigger schools in their league. Hunt advances 31-14.
Fike 11-1 travels to Douglas Byrd 10-2. There is no doubt in the opening two rounds Fike has played the toughest two games over anybody else in the state. Went 6-2 last week and games like this is a flip of the coin will not help the average. If Fike can some how win this game Big East will be strutting their stuff. Fike 31 Douglas Byrd 21. .
Southern Nash at Eastern Wayne: EW 's only two losses of the season are to Rose and New Bern. Since I think the Firebirds are just beginning to get it together this year EW is strong. This might be the game of the night but EW advances 38-35
Beddingfield at Northeastern. Should be high scoring game but NE will win at home 34-26
Tarboro will get one more scrimmage before the real playoffs begin. Tarboro 46 Camden 6 .
