Twice this year both varsity basketball teams have gone down to defeat on the home court the same night. South Central pulled the trick on the Gryphons girls earlier during the season spotting the Lady Gryphons a twenty plus lead at the half and came charging back to win.. Tonight Rocky Mount girls gave up a double digit lead in the fourth quarter and lose their conference opener at home to Hunt 50-46.
Hunt is now 10-3 and 1-0 in Big East play as Rocky Mount falls to 5-5 and 0-1. Once again next week there will only be one conference game on the conference slate as the Gryphons will be home to Nash Central. Tamara Harper lead the Lady Gryphons with 16 while Keyanna Spivey 15 and having her first double digit scoring game of the year Michele Gainey added 12.
We have seen already that South Central's height dominate Rocky Mount earlier and tonight the tallest Big East team Hunt gave Rocky Mount all the wanted and for the second year in a row clip Rocky Mount in Rocky Mount 65-55.
40 of Rocky Mount's 55 points came from the outside trio of Isaiah Alston 18, Broderick Caudle and Kenaz Cooper 11 each. Rocky Mount having not played in 22 days might have been telling in this one as Hunt is fresh off winning the Wilson County Tournament last week over Fike. and even played Wednesday night against highly rated Kinston.
There was some question about the Fike non conference schedule and tonight Fike goes on the road to Nash Central and the Bulldogs get a victory 55-44.
Nash Central girls looked primed to be the team to want to be the team to challenge Northern beat the Fike girls 56-42 Nash Central is now 10-3 and 1-0 in Big East play.
Southern Nash joined Hunt and Nash Central boys in first place in the Big East as they romped at home over Northern Nash 86-67.
As expected Northern's girls took care of business beating the out manned Lady Firebirds 70-29.
