A hazy fog and light mist surrounded Nash Central football field. The Rocky Mount offense played in a haze for most of the game having a pass intercepted and returned 99 yards for a Bulldog touchdown, two fumbles one near the red zone another after a first down drive started and to top it all off a dropped snap on a punt that was partially blocked and set up the Bulldogs for what could have been a game winning touchdown.
The Rocky Mount defense was not affected by the haze that the offense had was holding the Bulldogs to 11 yards rushing for the game. Nash Central cover 126 by the pass including 53 in the first quarter to give the Bulldogs a 7-0 lead. The play from quarterback Travis Griffin to Jay Smith. The Bulldogs rose the lead to 14 on a pick six by Kendall Winston who took it more than 99 yards picking off Mckenzy Wright.
It took until the 5:17 mark of the first half before the Gryphons crossed the goal line on a Charlie Williams run. Chase Miller added the extra point. Down to 17 seconds in the half the Gryphons tie the score on another Williams's score.
The Gryphons got the lead on a Shabios Lynch to K J Edwards 26 yard touchdown pass at 2:16 of the third and to go along with the Haze the extra point went under the goal post to give the Gryphons a 20-14 lead and left plenty of suspense yet to come.
For the night the Gryphons rushed for 219 yards led by Jaylen Watson's 102. He had 66 called back after the Gryphons were lined up to run a play when they were called for having too many men on the field from the running play. Don't get me started about officials. Several times the yard mark was two or three yards from where the ball actually was lined up. The Gryphons passed 5-12 for 86 yards
When the Gryphons needed them the defense was there including Nash Central on the Rocky Mount side of the field in the fourth quarter twice. One happen that has formed from this year's team they have put the ball on the ground multiple times in Edenton, Hoke County ad now Nash Central. If this continues there are teams ahead would will score. Gryphons survive a Bulldog scare 20-14

The final score was actually 20 -14. Those were some of the most inept officials I have ever seen call any game at any level. Hard to watch game due to poor officiating and poor play. Would like to know why Rocky Mount plate so many backup Reserves including some reportedly from the JV team.
