Just last Friday night Fike came to Rocky Mount and swept the Gryphons on their home court. The games were suppose to be at Fike but a wet floor caused the games to be switched to Rocky Mount. Tonight the return trip. Fike and Rocky Mount boys both still have an outside shot at tying for first. Somehow or other last Friday Fike thought they were home and tonight Rocky Mount sweeps Fike on Fikes home floor. The girls win 35-26 while the boys win 48-36.
Friday night all the boys games in Big East basketball has ramifications about who is going to finish first. Nash Central is 6-3 playing 5-4 Southern Nash. Fike 5-4 plays arch rival Hunt 4-5 and Rocky Mount 5-4 travels to Northern Nash 2-7. There is a possibility that a four way tie is possible but in order for that to happen Southern Nash must beat Nash Central.
Fike girls lost their sixth game of the year to the Lady Gryphons and both are tied in conference at 5-4. Fike has the edge playing Hunt with only two conference wins while Rocky Mount travels to Northern Nash.
Tonight at North Carolina Wesleyan the men's basketball team finished their home portion of this basketball season and they beat Methodist University 72-59. They are now 9-2 in conference play and the way the conference rules read the top seed regular season team gets to host the conference tournament.
D J Weaver finished his regular season at home scoring 32 points. Brandon Brown added 11. The 9-2 record right now leads the USAS but the Battling Bishops finish on the road with three road games over the next ten days. All they need to follow is win all three and they will host the tournament Feb 25-27th. Tall task but the way they are playing it can be done.
The girls lost the first game tonight to Methodist 65-48.
Methodist had two local players coming home as Alexia Hines a freshman for the Monarchs who played last year for Northern Nash scored four points in the first half but was injured late in the second quarter and never returned to the game. Tabious Hilliard the senior point guard from Rocky Mount high scored three points.
