The Rocky Mount Gryphons are experiencing what they have administered to most teams for the past two decades since I have been living in Rocky Mount. They tended to have the upper hand, made the right decisions down the stretch and made more than their share of clutch shots when needed. Heading into Tuesday nights trip to Hunt the Gryphons find themselves in a win or just maybe not make the playoffs.
Trailing Hunt by two games 4-2 against 2-4 a lost would put the Gryphons at three games back with three to play in order to finish first. The position they stand now it is almost to the point forget first just try to make the playoffs. Trailing four of the teams closes to them in the standing by a single game second place is feasible but a lost to Hunt puts them no closer to second, third,fourth or fifth.
A victory over Hunt would put the Gryphons just one game from first and with the schedule being the way it is somebody would join them in last again. It could be at sunrise Wednesday could have three teams at 4-3 and three at 3-4 with three games to play. The bottom line is unless the Gryphons can take down Hunt this could be their last stand for this season.
Rocky Mount 9-6 2-4 @ Hunt 4-2 12-7: Hunt dominated in Rocky Mount so this will be a tall task for the Gryphons.
The Girls action Rocky Mount 8-7 3-3 @ Hunt 14-5 4-2: when the Lady Gryphons get good guard play they have a shot to beat everyone but Northern. Had Hunt by double digits but could not hold on at home. Now down two games to Northern the Lady Warriors can't lose any more ground.
Nash Central 11-6 3-3 @ Fike 12-5 3-3: The winner could be tied for first but for sure the loser could be two back with three to play.
Nash Central Girls 11-9 2-4 @ Fike 8-9 3-3: Now that Northern leads by two games it is a sprint to the finish line for second. NC is in fifth and if they are to be in it to the finish they need this one.
Southern Nash 11-8 3-3 @ Northern Nash 6-11 3-3: The Firebirds romped by 18 the first time around but right now Northern is the hottest team in the league.
Southern Nash 0-19 0-6 @ Northern Nash 17-0 6-0: Regardless whether it's a boys team or girls this year's conference race is you can switch uniforms and they all look the same except in this game. Switch uniforms in this one and Northern still wins in a Southern Uniform.
