Streaks On The Line

There are good streaks and then there are bad ones and Big East basketball has two going that are not the kind of streaks any one wants.  Heading to Northern Nash tonight the Lady Birds of Southern Nash have lost 38 games in a row.  When you score only 18 points per games chances are slim that the losing streak will end this year.

Rocky Mount boys will be heading to Hunt riding a 12 game losing streak.  A program which this century has been the model basketball program in the area this streak is a hard pill to swallow.  Some of the problem has been not having a full complement of players but last week with everyone they weren't competitive in two games. Everyone's life a little rain must fall and the Gryphons are getting theirs now.

Southern Nash Lady Birds 0-1-0-12 @ Northern Nash 1-0-10-2:  Northern defense should control this game.  A Lady Knights victory would put them in a two way tie for the conference lead.

Nash Central 1-0- 12-2 @ Fike 1-0- 13-2:  This would be a big win for the Lady Dogs to pull off at Fike.  This should be a dog fight. No pun intended.

Rocky Mount 7-4- 0-1 @ Hunt 0-1- 1-10:  Rocky Mount plays great defense and they are better on offense when the defense is clicking.  A road win would help keep the Lady Gryphons in top four but a loss and an 0-2 conference start would be hard to dig out from.

Boys:

Southern Nash 1-0 - 8-4 @ Northern Nash 0-1- 10-3:  Should be the game of the night in the boys action.  There is a possibility that after two games there could be a six way tie again  this year because all the teams with one loss play the teams with one win, not likely but possible.

Nash Central 1-0 7-7 @ Fike 0-1 5-10:  It is imperative that every team hold serve and win at home and steal one or two on the road.  If you give away home games you will sink towards the bottom.

Rocky Mount 0-1- 0-11 @ Hunt 1-0 5-8:  Here we go Hunt has a road win and they don't need to give it back against a struggling Gryphon Team.  Rocky Mount just needs a win.

The awards keep coming.  Last night during the Rocky Mount City Council meeting the Council presented the Rocky Mount Gryphon football team and award for winning the state championship back in December.  The council has been busy in regards to awards to Rocky Mount High.  In the past seven years Rocky Mount has won a football title two basketball and a baseball state title recognized by the city council.  Rocky Mount is the only public school in North Carolina that has won all three major sports since 2008.
