Off And Running

You just knew as the first conference game of the year Nash Central was going to give their supreme effort of the year.  So what does Rocky Mount do cause a three and on their first drive of game and then go 71 yards on their first drive themselves the last 22 yards on a B J Sanders run and at the 9:19 mark of the first quarter was off to a 7-0 lead and never was really challenged as the Gryphons win 42-7 as both teams played subs in the fourth quarter.

The 2:07 mark saw the Gryphons score for the second time on a 40 yard Nick Bynum run to lead 14-0 at the quarter pole.  Bynum would score again at the 2:18 to go in the half to give the Gryphons a 21-0 half time lead.

Would the Gryphons lose focus  at half ? and the answer was no as they took the second half kickoff and drove the field and scored on a Angelo Collins 2 yard score and had a comfortable 28-0 lead at 8:11 of the third.  BJ Sanders score from 14 yards away at 3:58 to send it to 35.

The Gryphon D had a good stand on a nice Bulldog drive in the early fourth quarter and held at the five yard line. Two plays later the Gryphons fumbled at the one and Miles Lane scored  at 8:41 to play to prevent a shutout.

The ensuring drive the Gryphon second team took it in to cap off the scoring at 42-7 on a Tyrell Forbes 52 yard run .  Chase Miller added all seven extra points and Anna Thompson added one for the Bulldogs.

Good start for the Gryphons as they go to 1-0 and host Hunt next week.

I am not shocked that Southrrn Nash went to Fike and won but to me the score is 26 -13 after leading at one point 20-0.

Hunt takes down Northern Nash 19-14

Tarboro has no problem with South Creek 35-14

Southwest Edgecombe looks like a monster 42-0 over North Pitt.
