One Streak Ends The Other Alive but Not Well

A new era of football has hit Nash Central and the Bulldogs looked like a new team as they did something in the first quarter that I don't recall they did very much last season and that was lead a football game.  The Bulldogs took a 6-0 lead and as the game got closer to the Half Tarboro started  to take control.  It was all Tarboro at the half taking a 28-6 lead.

Tarboro plays like the Vikings always play hiding the football and the second half they hit the 40 point mark beating Nash Central 40-12.  The Losing streak for Nash Central hits 25 games.

Rocky Mount opened their 2015 football season by getting the ball four times in the first half at South Granville and scored all four times and when the defense was on the field they bottled  South Granville's offense to only two first downs.  It was 28-0 at the half.

There was no letup in the third quarter as Rocky Mount adds two more scores in shutting out South Granville 45-0.  The biggest question mark this year for the Gryphons was the defense but a shutout  gives Gryphon fans hope and the offensive unit looked impressive with new quarterback Forest Bell under center

Rocky Mount Academy playing under new head coach Terrell Hudgins got knocked around quickly in the first quarter as Parrott Academy scored to take a 14-0.  The Eagles settled down and score just before the half to trail 14-7.

A early touchdown but a blocked point after the score was 14-13 early third quarter.Unable to stop Parrott they extended the lead to 22-13 but that was short lived as RMA returned the Kickoff for a td and made the score 22-21.  The Eagles playing inspired ball can't stop Parrott when needed.  Parrott gets revenge over their two losses against RMA  last season and the Eagle's winning streak
that started back in 2013 is over. Parrott   Wins 56-35.
