Those On Top Stay On Top

Both Nash Central boys and girls teams and Fike boys and girls are all tied in Big East conference play in second place. Neither plays each other this week so all they can do and win the games in front of them tonight and Friday and see how the seedings fall for next weeks tournament.

Fike girls held up their end of the bargain tonight as they hosted Northern Nash and win 51-37.  Fike ups their conference record to 6-3 while Northern slumps to 2-7.

The team with the worse matchup of the night the Fike boys host the top team the Knights of Northern Nash.  If Fike wants any part of second they need to knock off the top dogs at home.  It will not happen as the Knights win their ninth with out loss while Fike falls to 5-4 after losing at home 89-74.

Both Nash Central Bulldog teams need wins in the quest to finish second in the conference standings.  There is now an opening for the boys with the Golden Demons loss to Northern Nash at home.  The Hunt Warriors having one of those years that you like to forget  can play a spoiler and they gave the Bulldogs a fight but come up short as Nash Central 6-3 boys take over second in the Big East with one game to go after a 59-53 win over Hunt 2-7.

Hunt's Lady Warriors with two victories this week over the two teams ahead of them in conference play just might sneak in and grab second but they cannot afford a lost in either game this week if their hopes are to happen.  Nash Central 6-3 prevails 49-48 to stay tied with Fike and Friday is the end of the regular season.  Hunt falls to 4-5.

When they played in Rocky Mount the Firebirds almost won their first conference game so tonight hosting Rocky Mount this is Southern Nash's real chance.  The Gryphons will win their fourth game in nine tries and the Firebirds are  still winless after a Rocky Mount victory 58-44.

The Lady Gryphons as expected had little trouble staying undefeated and for the Lady Birds of Southern Nash winless at Rocky Mount goes to 9-0 while Southern drops to 0-9 after 57-18 game.
