How much mixed emotions can there be for Fike High School. They beat their arch Rival Hunt tonight by a whopping 51-21. They can be satisfied that they prevented their top rival any chance of taking home first place with the plastering they laid on Hunt. They also walk off the field knowing that a 4-1 record is tied at the top with Southern Nash only the Firebirds win the top seed for the 42-35 lost administered by Southern Nash to Fike in the opening week of conference play. Hunt finishes in fourth. It is the worse finish in their five years in the Big East in fact it is the first time they haven't won first.
Southern earned the top spot in the Big East with a did just enough victory over Nash Central 25-6. For the Bulldogs it is the second year in a row they have failed to win even one time. Every type of communications known to man has been speculating on the future of the football coach at Nash Central. It is known that the future for Brian Foster and his Firebirds is a home game next week in the playoffs.
At Rocky Mount both teams played let me give you an easy score in the first quarter but by the second quarter the Gryphon speed has taken control and the Gryphons win over arch rival Northern Nash 38-12. The Hunt loss and the Gryphon win propels the Gryphons to third.
The second round of the 8 man football playoffs is over and the top two seeds will square off for the title here in Rocky Mount next week. Rocky Mount Academy rolled over St Davids 60-30 while Arendell Parrott thumped Southampton Academy 74-42. The eight man football championship game I hear will be at Bishop Stadium just like last year when Parrott comes to RMA. RMA is now 11-0 while Parrott's only lost was to RMA.
Tarboro had little trouble with North Edgecombe 48-0. Looks like the Vikings are set for their annual run for another state title. Thursday SouthWest Edgecombe took second place in their conference with a 54-12 win over Beddingfield.
Finally tonight it was senior night at Rocky Mount and the senior football players were introduced before the game and during the halftime all other fall sports seniors were introduced. Yes when it was time to introduce the Senior volleyball players and parents there was a banner and the parents of Tiara Hinton were introduced her parents were behind that banner. Can you imagine what it took for them to walk from midfield when their heard her named called as a senior volleyball player. As they walked they receive a standing ovation from the nearly full Rocky Mount side. A very touching moment.
