Buffett Of Big East Action

Cheerleading in recent years has become Big  time Sport.  Recently Northern Nash wins the Big East Cheerleading Championship by a score of 78.7 to Hunts 77.8. I don't know how you score cheerleading  but I don't care what kind of system is used, .9 is close.  Southern Nash finished third 74.4 followed by Rocky Mount 69.6, Fike 67 and Nash Central 36.7

Destini Morton of Rocky Mount was named Cheerleader of the Year.  The All Conference team is Hailey Thomas, Keilah Moore, Princess Anstead and Princess Hendson all of Northern Nash. Hunt's reps are Alexis Bailey,Abria Blunt and Katilyn  Kirby.

Southern Nash has Cierra Jernigan, Kayleigh Denton and Kasie Webb.  Rocky Mount has two others besides the cheerleader of the year in Taylor Lutrell and Quaneshia Hardy.  Fike's members are Brittany Mitchell and Payton Callaway.  Nash Central has Promise Atkinson representing the Bulldogs.

Last night Rocky Mount played in non conference basketball at 4A South Central.  The Lady Gryphons struggled to score but they have one constant area is defense.  Lady gryphons win their 15th game 40-37.  The boys were never in their game losing 64-32

Tuesday night was the opening of the duel wrestling 1st and 2nd rounds of the state championships and Southern Nash lost their opening match 36-40.  Fike won their first match but took on the home team Orange and lost 45-36 in the second.

Northern Nash boys and Rocky Mount girls are trying to make this a boring basketball season. Northern Boys 19-2 7-0 can clinch at least a tie if they beat Nash Central 13-5 5-2 Friday night.  The Gryphon girls 15-2 7-0 can clinch the regular season title if they beat Fike.  If they do every member of  the Big East would have three losses with two to play.  If Fike wins then it is an interesting final week.

Fike boys 15-5 5-2 travel to Rocky Mount 6-10 2-5.  Hunt 5-15 2-5 is at Southern Nash  5-16 0-7.   Hunt girls15-5 3-4 take on the Lady Birds 3- 15 0-7.  Nash Central 10-8 4-3 finished the Friday schedule at Northern 7-13 2-5.

Last night the Lady Bishops best Methodist 71-57 to run their record in conference to 4-5.  They are a game and a half out of fourth and a playoff spot.
