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.

Mostly Saturday Conference Games
Last week went 5-3 to reduce my overall college picks to 47-13. Disappointed when I found out I had left off my pick of Clemson beating Notre Dame. Try to get all the teams of interest in this week.
Friday Night Special: Remember several years ago when ECU schedule a home game on Friday night an all the high schools in Eastern North Carolina went ballistic ? State has a game Friday night but not in Raleigh. N C State 4-1 @ Virginia Tech 2-3. State lost for first time they had a tough game. Tech having trouble winning any game. Offense looks awful and Tech defense only so so. When if Tech is going to win any games the D must be stout. Pack 24 Va Tech 13
Maryville 5-0 @ N C Wesleyan 0-4. Only eight times in the history of Maryville have they started 5-0. The Battling Bishop lost a Donnie Brook last week. Bad match up for the home team Maryville 44 NC Wesleyan 26. Bad start doing my first Wesleyan game ever on PA. In fact I have never done any Bishops sporting event on the radio so the first time I do a Bishops game and pick against them.
Duke 4-1 @ United States Military Academy 1-4: Great place to play. The Army will struggle to score on the Devils. Duke 27 Army 7
ECU 3-2 @ Brigham Young 3-2: ECU has had some good wins so far. BYU has some great wins. Utah is a long ride from Greenville. This would be a look at us win if the Pirates could win this. I wish they do but I doubt it. BYU 35 ECU 31
Wake Forest 2-3 @ BC 3-2. Wake is much improved. BC going to be hard to score on. BC 21 Wake Forest 17
Miami 3-1 @ Florida St 4-0: I wish Miami had of played a better second half at Cincinnati. I don't think Florida St is a top ten team but I think they can survive this one. FSU 28 Miami 24
Georgia Tech 2-3 @ Clemson 4-0: I have picked GT three straight weeks. I'm off their band wagon. Clemson has to make sure they don't pull a ECU and lose to a team they should beat. Tigers 35 Tech 24
Virginia 1-3 @ Pitt 3-1: Wins are going to be few and far between for the Cavs. I think Pitt has a chance to be a player in the run for their division. Panthers 41 Virginia 23
Syracuse 3-1 @ South Florida 1-3: I think the Cuse is ok and SF is better than their record. This could be close. The Orange 31 The Bulls 30.
I'll be on the chains at Rocky Mount tonight to see the return of Chris Lee and Kent Cox to Rocky Mount.
