Just how good are the 2015 Gryphons? Hard to tell when the Aces lose six fumbles in the first half and four are snaps over the head of the quarterback while in the shotgun. The Gryphons scored on five of their six drives in the first half and only a great deflection of a Forest Bell pass in the back left corner of the end zone or the Gryphon would have score six times on offense in the first half.
The ESPN highlight of the night was score number six for Rocky Mount when Gryphon kicker Sherrod Green kicked his kickoff to about the nine yard line then at the 21 met the runner with a vicious hit knocking the ball loose where it was returned for points. Less than two minutes to go in the half and a 42-0 lead the officials started running the clock and with just about the entire team playing the second half the final was 42-0.
The first score came on a Forest Bell to Kerjorick Edwards 38 yard toss with 5:14 to go in the first. The 14th point came As Nick Bynum plunged in from three yards out. The quarter ended 14-0. 39 seconds into the second BJ Sanders went 22 yards making it 21-0. Forest Bell got his second scoring toss hitting Jaclayton Freeman on a 52 yard bomb and third TD toss of the night went for 65 yards to Chris Richardson The big hit by Green got Jacqual Walker on the score board as Chase Miller added all six extra points.
Gryphons record goes to 3-1 but next Friday night will be the night when we find out just how good this team is when Rose marches in to Gryphon stadium. Rose lost their first game of the year 49-48 to Havelock. Rose has given up a lot of points and next week may be a shoot out.
I assume South Johnston and Southern Nash tried to beat the expected rains for Friday that never came and both were unbeaten and the game was played like a playoff game. Over time Southern Nash goes for a two point conversion and misses and lose the first game of the season 41-40
Northern Nash had two rain storms on Thursday night which caused Laney to come back to Northern Friday night and Laney didn't want to come to Rocky Mount twice and lose and they dominated the second half played Friday night winning 26-6 after the Knights had pitch a Thursday night first half shutout but gave up 26 in the second. Second week in a row Northern led at the half but failed to score in second half.
Rocky Mount Academy wins number three in a row 47-14 over Cary Christian

Tarboro put 62 on Franklinton 62-26
Fike won 21-13 over Beddingfield
