Rocky Mount and Nash Central boys have already met before Christmas with the Gryphons winning by 12 on a neutral court at Northern Nash. Tonight Rocky Mount travels to the Bulldog gym and you would think tonight this is the Bulldogs chance but not so. Rocky Mount dominant the Bulldogs 53-27. Yes that score is right. Seems every rebound belonged to the Gryphons.
Two of those teams looking to challenge Northern met for the second time this year and for the second time Rocky Mount wins a close one 52-45 over Nash Central. Carmen Richardson led the Gryphons with 26 points. So after the first night of Conference Northern,Rocky Mount and Southern all are tied for first in the Big East.
Northern Nash girls started on the road in what might have proven to be at the second best team in the Big East when they traveled to Hunt. The Lady Knights start off Big East Conference play with a 57-40 victory over the Lady Warriors. If it proves out Hunt is second best in the conference then it looks like a log jam fighting for second.
I promised that we would look at local high school players who now play college basketball and today we look toward Charlotte and Queens College. Tia Hudgins was a small forward/power forward when playing at a Rocky Mount. The 5'8" player has had to adjust to playing guard in college and Tia is doing rather well. Queens is 4-7 so far this season and Hudgins is averaging 8.6 points per game. while in high school Hudgins had a magnet in her hand and she always knew where the rebounds were going to be. She hasn't lost that trait at Queens as she is averaging 6.8 rebounds per game.
