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.

Corinth Holders. 21-0 over Northern Nash
Fike 43-Bunn 42
Hunt 28-20 over Lumberton
Southern Nash 43 Northwood 28

Golf's Young Lions
This past weekend Jason Day won the Professional Golfers Championship one of the four majors of Golf. Day finished in the top five in all four major championship this year. He was in contention in the U.S. Open until he had a bout with vertigo which became survival more than any thing else. He had a tremendous year but it was not the best on tour.
Jordan Speith won the Masters and the U.S. Open. He almost won the British Open but missed the playoff by one shot. He finished second last weekend in the PGA after shooting 17 under par. He lost to Day who shot the lowest score ever in a major tournament. Just 22 who in the world wouldn't want to be in Speith shoes with his future.
Watching on TV Whistling Straits looked like one of the hardest courses you could ever want to play. How hard is the course really when the winning score was the lowest ever in a major. Almost half the field were under par so how hard is this course?
If the pros can tear it up what was the secret?. Stay out of the rough. The hard looking part of the course is being off the course. There were some spots that nobody ever needs to face. The hole with the sand trap right beside Lake Michigan eight feet below the hole was a killer if you hit it there but plenty of birdies were made if you were on the green.
Should a major be play on what was proven to be an easy scoring course? My answer would be no. Even though it looked tough the scores were about what you are going to see this week in Greensboro. Would it ever happen to play a PGA championship at Sedgefield? I doubt it.
I would rather see a major championship played on a course that is a test to make par. Then to me we find out who the true great golfers are. I don't want to see long hitters chip on greens and one putt or putt for Eagles on every par five.
Tonight high school football kicks off so tonight also puts Rocky Mount native Tom Suitor back in the saddle on WRAL at 11:35. They will be covering 50 games. That will be about 20 seconds per game. Look quick for your favorite teams highlites.
