Hunt Has Wells Fargo Cup lead

Hunt high school the Big East winners in football and Men's soccer has the lead in the Big East Wells Fargo standings after all of the fall sports have been completed. Hunt aquired 68.5 points to lead Fike by five who has 63.5 after they won volleyball and tennis. Rocky Mount placed third with conference championships in womens cross country and tying Hunt in tennis. Third place was good enough to have 55.5 points. Southern Nas h fourth with 53.5 followed by Northern Nash 50 and Nash Central 46.5. All of the basketball action is in the books until after Christmas and what can we judge from what is happening in the Big East so far? Fike is 10-0 in boys basketball but 8 of their wins have come against 2-A or 1-A schools. Rocky Mount is 6-2 with three wins over 4-A schools but a loss to a 2-A school. Hunt is 5-2 but both of their losses have come at the hands of 4-A level competition. Southern Nash is 4-8, Northern is 3-6 and Nash Central has won only once while losing six times. How can we judge the quality of any win or loss. How do we know whether the Fike win twice over Southwest Edgecombe is not two great wins while a Rocky Mount two wins over Rose is a good win or not. We really don't until more of the season unfolds and then we can begin to tell when wins are good and the ones that are too easy. The girls are paced by Northern Nash at 7-1 and since I have been covering sports here in Nash County I think this Northern team has the best over all girls team I've seen. Now i did not see the State champion team in the late 90's but this Northern's girls team is tall athletic. Their big question is getting the type of point guard play neccessary to advance to a state title. remember it is not Christmas yet and there is plenty of time to get that worked out. Nash Central is 6-2 and both of their losses have occurred in the last week. Rocky Mount is 5-3 and every one knew that this years team was going to live and die with Carmen Richardson and Tyreka Thomas. The Gryphon nation is surprised at the quality of play of their two inside freshman players. Fike is 6-3 and Hunt is 4-2 while Southern Nash is 4-5. I see potential regional teams in Rocky Mount boys and Northern Girls. Fike boys we will get a look at quickly after Christmas as Rocky Mount and Fike get together for the first conference game. Still plenty of time to find the right combo's in making a run towards the playoffs.
