No School Saturday But YES There is basketball

Nash and Wilson County school official have given the go to resume high school basketball Saturday and the Big East can get back on the basketball court despite no one has had any organized practice or games since Monday.

Rocky Mount will host Northern Nash starting with the girls jv game at 1pm.  The biggest event of the day  will be the girls game as both Rocky Mount 4-0 in conference play will collide with the Lady Knights  3-0 somewhere near 4pm.

On a normal Tueday when conference games are played both jv boys and girls play before the varsity takes the floor and I don't think I have seen a girls varsity game start before 6:30 after the jv girls started at 3:30. By the end of jv girls then the jv boys warm up and then their game many have pushed 7:00pm before the  varsity girls game gets under way.

The final match of the afternoon will be Gryphon boys who now stand at 3-1 in conference play taking on th Knights who have yet to win in conference play and will not have two of their better players.  One Paul Cherry out for the season with a knee injury and the other a disciplinary action.

Who will have the advantage as nobody has been able to hold practice with school out for weather?

Fike and Hunt will play their game snowed out Tuesday on Saturday. At this writing Nash Central and Southern Nash had not gotten together  to try to finalize playing the game they missed Tuesday on Saturday. The reason is the fact that the Big East indivual wrestling championships can be held on Saturday now at Southern Nash and the game lost between Southern and Central was to be played at Southern.  Since the wrestling was already scheduled at Southern way back when the athletic directors made the seasonal schedules for all sports last year the gym is already allotted for Saturday.
