Gryphon Baseball Tonight Maybe?

Gryphon Baseball washed out tonight!!!!


The Rocky Mount Gryphons will makeup the Friday night rainout with Tarboro tonight at Gryphon Stadium.  This game is the Endowment game and of course you say what is that?  It is the NCHSAA way of giving everyone an extra game on their schedule and they split the money with the state to help run the State association. 

I guess you have seen the forecast and there is a good chance for dizzle during the rest of the day and maybe a thunder storm.  It is suppose to rain about all day Friday so Friday night's conference game with Hunt is in jeopardy.  The Gryphons have scheduled a makeup game Saturday with Corinth Holders at Holders and the over  night low Friday night is 28 with drizzle so that sounds like snow to me so we will see if the Gryphons play any games for the rest of this week.

There is no doubt that we are all giddy with the prospects that our basketball teams in the Triangle are in the Sweet 16.   If you go by NCAA Tournament Rankings if the Tar Heels of North Carolina  make it to the championship game they will have beaten Wisconsin a number one seed in the bracket.  Probably the number two seed in Arizona and if they win that Kentucky the number one overall seed will probably be waiting.  That would be tough sledding for the Heels.  Let's don't put the horse before the cart yet.  We will find out plenty about Kentucky when they meet West Virginia.  West Virginia plays the type game that just might  be the style to mess KU up.

State's Road to the final game is against a four seed Louisville who they beat a month again in Louisville.  If you recall that was like the second game after the Ville kicked their point guard off the team and the Cards have adjusted since then with their new lineup.  If the Pack survives they probably draw Michigan State who this week has become the Media Darlings after beating Virginia.  Should the Pack make it to Indianapolis Duke or  Gonzaga would be their final four matchup.

Duke had better be ready Friday night against Utah.  They look a lot like Duke shooting outside shots.  The next round might be the Zags  of Gonzaga who if you have not seen them play can beat anybody.  If Duke makes it to the final four the dream would be against State or Louisville but could be Michigan State.

Carolina by far has the toughest road.  I think Duke's road is bumpier  that you might think and the Pack has as good a chance as any of our three to play in the finals.  Then of course they could all three come home after this weekend.  I think this type situation is what makes sports special there are 16 teams left and everyone thinks they can win it all.
