The opening game of the Nash County Christmas Tournament started out with Northern Nash girls 9-1 and Rocky Mount girls 5-2 taking on each other for the first of at least three matches this year. Was it great defense or was it poor offense? It seemed as if both sides were playing each other in a telephone booth as the defense on both sides were defeating the other sides offense.
Both teams came in averaging nearly fifty points each but tonight putting both scores together was hard to hit 50. The first game of this year's Nash County Tournament goes to Rocky Mount as they had just a little more offense and the Lady Gryphon defense carries the day. Final Rocky Mount Girls 35 Northern Nash 23. Now I know you are asking is that score right?
Just a couple more comments about Friday Night's football game and every team needs luck on your side. South Point won the toss and elected to defer or receive at the second half kickoff. That gave Rocky Mount the choice which goal they wanted to kick from.
The wind was blowing about five to six miles and hour and for those Gryphons fans at the game it was going right to left or toward the east goal. That gave Chase Miller a little extra on his 35 yard extra point which he had no trouble making.
The Final play of the regulation the South Point kicker was kicking into that wind and this was already an extremely long kick which was wide left. Suppose Miller is kicking the 35 yard extra point the other way. Would the Gryphons be state champs into the wind
Sunday night I filled in for Wes Bradshaw who had the audacity to go on a cruise while Rocky Mount was winning the football championship. I was helping Edward Green on the All New Sports Show. During the first segment when we talked about the football game I made a statement that I thought Rocky Mount was the only school in the state to win state Championships in Baseball, football and basketball in the last ten years.
Josh Walfish reporter for the Rocky Mount Telegram home watching the show who at 8:30 was going to be a call in guest to talk about the game heard me make that statement and while waiting to be on the show went on line and verified that I was correct. Thanks for watching and especially for finding the answer so quick Josh. Way to go Gryphons four state champions in last seven year in all three major sports.
As you know these days if you win a state championship in anything we all got to have that ring right? Basketball is not all that hard there is including managers, coaches and players about 20 rings to buy. Football brings on a different story as there will be about 60. Just guess how much one cost and multiply by 60. If you would like to help the Champion Gryphons receive rings send your donations to Rocky Mount High School tag it rings. Every dollar counts.
