Lady Bulldogs Win Game Of The Night

Wednesday Night Make Up:  Nash Central girls take the lead in Big East basketball beating Southern Nash 51-9.  The Lady Birds have score just 20 points the last two nights against the conference leader in Northern Nash and Nash  Central. The Lady  Bulldogs are 6-1 and Northern 5-1.

They started the night tied for the Big East lead at 4-2.  Southern Nash and Nash Central played a game worthy of the outright lead.  Nash Central lead most of the first half but the Firebirds cranked it up from the outside in the second. But the home team prevails.  Nash Central 65-62 and they have the Big  East lead heading to Friday night action.

Tonight in the Dog Pound two of the three teams tied for first in the girls side of the ledger of Big East basketball play a game worthy of a championship.   Fike sporting a 16-3 record and Nash Central 15-3 tied with Northern Nash for the top spot but the loser will fall to third.

Nash Central had control early but Fike would not go down easily.  Fike found it hard to lead as every time they came close Nash Central would edge out only for Fike to tie the game.  Down the stretch Nash Central scores the last five points to beat the Lady Golden Demons 62-57.  Nash Central 5-1 finds themselves tied with Northern Nash 5-1  who laid a whipping on winless Southern Nash 50-11.

Rocky Mount Lady Gryphons jump out to a very comfortable 32-10 lead of Hunt but a rally by the Lady Warriors cut the lead to ten at the half 34-24.  No need to worry as Rocky Mount out scored Hunt  38-18 in the second half and win 74-42.  The Lady  Gryphons were led by Keyanna Spivey who had a career high 37 points.  She almost out scored Hunt by herself.  Rocky Mount has fourth place at 3-3 after Hunt falls to 1-5.

They came into tonight's game with rather mediocre records but both Fike  8-11 and Nash Central 9-9  found themselves tied at the top of the heap in Big East boys basketball  along with Southern Nash.  The final score will be no indication how good this game was as Nash Central defends the home turf beating Fike 67-57.  The Bulldogs are tied with Southern Nash at 4-2.

Southern Nash has a share of first place after defeating Northern Nash 67-58.  The win runs the Firebirds record to 11-6 which is now the best overall record of any Big East team.  The bottom has fallen out for Northern Nash as they drop to 2-5 in conference and 12-7 on the season.

Who in the world can believe this Rocky Mount Gryphon team after a 44-37 win over Hunt has reached the five hundred mark in conference play.  Losing their first 13 games of the season the Gryphons find themselves only one game out of first with threes games to go.  Hunt drops to 3-4.

Tonight was the first and second round of the Wrestling duels.  Fike 32-3 and Rocky Mount 22-19 were the only Big East teams to make the state tournament.  Rocky Mount traveled to Swansboro and  if victory comes then there is another match but Rocky Mount falls 37-33.  Next week will begin the singles portion of wrestling now that for Rocky Mount the team competition is over.  The results were even worse  for Fike As they lose at Cleveland 72-30.  The Big East is out of the state duel championships.
