Fike tonight hosted Nash Central and the Golden Demons didn't act nice toward the Bulldogs as the boys action was 70-55 in favor of Fike.. Fike now jumps to 4-3 in the Big East while Nash Central drops to 3-4.  I guess you can see that there is a three way at the top with Hunt, Fike and Northern Nash at 4-3 while Rocky Mount, Southern Nash and Nash Central are 3-4  unbelievable.

Fike girls were not very nice either to the Lady Bulldogs winning 73-63.  Fike stands 4-3 in conference play while the Lady Bulldogs tumble to 2-5..  Northern leads at 7-0-Hunt stands at 5-2- Fike 4-3- Rocky Mount 3-4- Nash Central 2-5 and Southern 0-7.  The girls action looks like what a normal conference looks like as the season goes forth.  Not the boys.

Under the category of a mis-match tonight in girls basketball the undefeated Lady Knights of Northern Nash won their 18th game of the season as they hosted Southern Nash.  This was a clash of the winless and the lossless  and Northern wins by a 69-19 score.
