Football still has another three Friday nights to go so the person who only cares about the pigskin portion of high school sports would not have any idea that Volley Ball, Girls tennis, cross country and a couple more weeks Boys soccer will be deep into fall playoffs before football finishes it's regular season. The minor sports deserve coverage as much as anybody so lets take a look and what has happened this fall in those sports.
Volleyball: Hunt was king of the hill having a perfect 10-0 mark and continued that by winning both Tournament games last week. Rocky Mount and Fike tied for second at 7-3 and during the tournament Rocky Mount won the tie breaker to be seeded second when the playoffs start. The first round of the volley ball state playoffs start October 24th so the seeding will be out soon.
Tennis: Rocky Mount 10-0 was the conference team to control play winning all ten of their conference. Fike 8-2 beat everyone in the conference every time except Rocky Mount. The women's duels start October 20th. Rocky Mount girls have an excellent shot at winning the east regional.
Cross Country on the boys side has been dominated all year by Northern Nash and the Northern girls have been very good with Rocky Mount nipping at their heels. The conference championships will be held on October 21st. The teams that qualify for the regionals will be run on October 31st. Northern Boys have an excellent shot at winning the regional.
Boys soccer still has a couple of weeks to go before the regular season ends as both Hunt and Fike are still undefeated and all the rains associated with the hurricane has messed up the routine schedule.
November fourth is the first day of the state playoffs.
Football's regular season ends on November 6th. The first night of the playoffs for those who qualify will be November 13th.
Saw this on face book which is very neat. Former Gryphon wrestler and cross country runner Mason Holt who now as a junior at Campbell is a member of the Campbell cross country team and he is a top five runner every race. As a junior he has started pre Pharmacy and earlier this week the Pharmacy school gave Mason a Campbell Varsity jacket. You might ask why? Mason is the only student in the pharmacy school who is an athlete. Quite a feat. Way to go Mason!!!!
