The first Rose drive of the night was an early indication of what was about to happen. A Rose pass was almost intercepted but instead bounced of the defender right into the hands of another receiver and off to the races.
The Gryphons had done to them what they have done to both Edenton and Hertford County as Rose was faster at every position. Many passes by Rose was thrown up for grabs and the Gryphon defender played in most cases as good as you can play the ball and yet Rose's D1 Clemson bound receiver Cornell Powell came down with just about every one.
Rose led 14-0 at the end of the first. 35 -14 at the half. 49-21 after three. The only disturbing event for the night as Rose kept passing the ball the entire fourth quarter scoring on two passes. Rose mauls Rocky Mount 61-21. They finally put the second team in the game at the 18 yard line after a long pass by the first team with 5:32 to go in the game.As good as Rose is they don't need getting star players hurt when the game was never in doubt in the second half.
I said on my picks this week that I couldn't pick Northern Nash until they showed me something. Tonight after and embarrassing second half last week against Laney Randy Raper got the attention of the Knights as they win their first game. The Knights 38 Goldsboro 35
The big battle in Tarboro went right down to the very end of the and Tarboro beat Southern Nash scoring the last 11 points of the game and beat the Firebirds 23-20.
Beddingfield put Nash Central in their place winning 49-13

Rocky Mount Academy knows how to score as they roll Hobgood 76-34

Small corner backs for RMT got exposed for RMT. Rose also had some small quick receivers who could catch the slant passes on the run and burn the secondary. Offensive turnovers also stopped RMT's momentum. There still seemed to be some communication issues between the offensive coordinator and the offense. Confusion at times. The TD called back on the long kickoff run was not a block in the back. The official maybe thought it was based on how hard hit. It was a great block that sprung the runner for a beautiful TD. RMT will be fine in 3A but it is hard to compete against these 4A schools with 60+ on the roster.
