The Go For Two In A Row

The Rocky Mount  Gryphons if they can be victorious today will repeat back to back state championships in football for the first time since 1962/63.  When you arrive at the stadium the Gryphons are the home team and will sit on the East stands. BBT Stadium holds 31,500 or about 15,000 on each sideline.

Some where around 7,500 fans made the trip last year in Chapel Hill on a Friday night. Many simply could not get off soon enough to get to the game so with this being a Saturday game even though it's 165 miles away there should be more in Winston this year.

I assume everyone knows how to get out on I-40 near the airport in Greensboro.  Stay on I-40 west where you can either take 1-40  or I 40 Business toward Winston Salem.  About 14 miles on either road you need to take US 52 toward Mount Airy.  If you take I 40 you will cross over I 40 business where you will join those that go Business I-40.  About four miles take Cherry Street turn right at bottom of the ramp off the exit.  The stadium is not that far the address is 411 Deacon Blvd.  Remember the Gryphons are in the East stands.

Many people from all over the world during those special weeks hit this blog in order to find out what's happening leading up to the big game.  That has happened again this year but it started back during the regular season game with Southern Nash and has continued right up to today.  My blog hits have tripled every day for six weeks now over a normal every day  Thank You all.

Both teams spent the night near Winston Salem.  The Gryphons left around 1pm and stopped in Greensboro and practiced at North Carolina A&T late Friday afternoon.  Not sure where they stayed but that sure beats getting up early and maybe worry with the weather to get to the stadium.

Those who are stuck home not making the trip to Winston and you are on Time Warner Cable you can go to channel 324 and the game will be live.  You can access  a live internet feed by going to NCHSAA.ORG and on the front page it says Don't miss a minute of action.  All the state championship games will be listed.  Click on the Rocky Mount game and it will appear at 11am. You may need to put the Time Warner App on your computer to view the game but it is free.

I will blog the results by 2pm if the game is over by then  GO GRYPHONS!!!!!!
