Gryphons Put On A Show

Takoby Cofield the Tarboro Viking and Duke University offensive tackle  NFL rookie has been cut but the Washington Redskins.

Shawn Draughn the the 3rd year pro running back  from Tarboro and UNC has been cut by the Cleveland Browns

Todd Gurley the top draft pick of the St Louis Cardinal and Tarboro High and Georgia has made the 53 man roster.

There are just some nights that everything you do turns to gold and tonight in Ahoskie the Gryphons of Rocky Mount did any and everything they wanted to do any time they wanted.  Leading 40-13 the Gryphons returned the second half kickoff back for a touchdown and on Hertford County's first drive picked up a sack fumble and scored to lead 54-13

They would score three more times in the third to lead 75-20 before the officials starting letting the clock run all the time.  HC got one score in the fourth as Rocky Mount responded after last week's close lost to Middle Creek who by the way clobbered Garner 38-14 tonight.  The Gryphons come home for their home opener next Friday hosting 4-A Hoke County..

Any time a team has a almost perfect game as Tarboro had last week against Washington and here comes a team Northern Nash who has yet to win and score many points what would you expect a blowout right?

Tarboro tried a fourth down pass which Northern picked and returned it to the house to take a 7-0 lead over the Vikings in Tarboro.  The Vikings looked like the Vikes in the second half and scored three times to win 20-7.  Tarboro is 3-0 while Northern drops to 0-3.

The only game in town on Friday night was the Fighting Bishops of North Carolina Wesleyan.  Nice crowd on hand for the home opener against Stevenson from just outside of Baltimore.  The Bishop's offense sputtered all game and produced only one touchdown just before the half to produce a 17-9 Stevenson lead.

The Fighting Bishops defense did a great job in the second half holding Stevenson to only a field  but that was enough as NC W fails to score in the second half and they lose their opener 20-9.

You may have seen this week that the football conferences in Wake County that voted to not play Cardinal Gibbons have recinded their ruling and have made a new bylaw that they are to play no private school not a member of the NCHSAA which Gibbons is a member.
