Basketball Schedule Change

The Rocky Mount Gryphon basketball team has not played a home game since December 13th when they beat Rose 71-54. Their next scheduled home game was suppose to have been next Tuesday against Fike in the third conference game of the season.  Received a text from Mike Gainey this week stating the two games with Fike are flip flopping.  Next Tuesday's game will now be at Fike and the game  for Febuary 6th will now be at Rocky Mount.

So when will the Gryphons play their  next home game?  It will  not be this Friday as they are scheduled for a trip to Hunt 9-3 1-0 while Rocky Mount is 7-4 1-0.  Also Friday Southern Nash 4-9 1-0 will visit Northern Nash 6-8 0-1.  Fike 13-1 0-1 travels to Nash Central 4-10 0-1.

We already know the Gryphons will not play at home next Tuesday cause they are at Fike.  How about the following Friday January 24th. Sorry Charlie but they travel to Southern then.  By the way following this Friday night's game they travel to Northern Durham to play Saturday in the Martin Luther King Memorial Tournament where they will play Riverside. So ok are the Gryphons ever going to play another another home game?

Yes Tuesday January 28th a Tuesday of all days Northern Nash will pay a visit to the Rocky Mount gym.  But, if the Gryphons have already played at Nash Central, Hunt,Fike, and Southern Nash what does that mean.  Starting with the Northern game Rocky Mount will play five straight conference home games and will not hit the road until the regular season's  last night.  The Gryphons will host the Big East conference tournament.

As you may have seen over the weekend a high school player from the Raleigh broke the backboard on a slam dunk and until a new back board arrives his school is one short.  He is a sensation on You Tube and local TV has made him out a hero.   If you watch the replay you will notice he hung on the rim ever how short a time until the backboard came down.  I don't care how a superman everyone can makes the player the actual cause of the shattered glass was a defect in the glass and if you have ever noticed backboard breaking never occurred until the retractable rims were created. Every dunk when the rim comes down ever so slightly comes out of it's position in the backboard and pops back in place once the player lets go of the rim.   Sorry but I don't see where the hero worship comes from in this deal.
