There is nothing Rocky Mount boys would want more than beat Northern Nash in front of full house keeping the Knights from a perfect conference record. A victory would not improve their standing as they will finish in fourth regardless of victory or defeat on their home court tonight.
The Knights will jump out early and they will receive a charge from Rocky Mount but in the end the Knights hold on to a perfect conference season besting the Gryphons 73-67. Under the direction of Henry Drake in his second season he leads the Knights to the regular season title.
Nash Central boys claim second in the Big East getting a strong effort from the Firebirds but the home court is a good place tonight for the Bulldogs as they keep Southern Nash winless in conference play 66-62.
The biggest issue the Lady Gryphons have had this week already with then Top seed in next weeks tournament in the bag is can they get and an undefeated conference play continue to play the smothering defense that has allowed them 10 straight wins.
The answer is yes they can as Rocky Mount destroys the Lady Knights in front of another packed house in the series 60-13. The Lady Gryphons go 10-0 in Big East play and 18-2 on the season. Northern falls to 2-8 and and is entrenched in fifth spot in next weeks Big East Tournament at Southern Nash.
Nash Central Girls grabbed a share of second place beating Southern Nash 49-27. The important tie breaker will give either the the Lady Bulldogs or Golden Demons a night off next week while the other plays Southern Nash on Southern's home floor when the Big East Tournament kicks off.
Fike's Lady Golden Demons knew heading to Hunt for the final game of the regular season that they would have their hands full with Hunt. They also knew that their chance to get the second seed breaking the tie with Nash Central could not happen losing to Hunt. There was very little chance Nash Central would lose at home to Southern Nash. Fike grabs their share of second escaping Hunt 64-56.
Tuesday's lost knocked the Fike boys from any chance of getting the bye in next week's conference tournament but the Golden Demons rebound nicely beating the Hunt Warriors on their home court 71-67.
