The Rocky Mount Lady Gryphons in the fourth round and on the road against Northern Guilford who has lost once all season. The Northern Nash Knights at home in front of a jammed house taking on another Guilford County team from Eastern Guilford.
Both Rocky Mount and Northern Nash are eliminated from the state basketball playoffs the Gryphons losing 54-44 while the Knights lose 62-52.
The Knights have been clinging to the edge of the cliff the entire playoff run and through three quarters it looked as though they would survive to play another day. Ahead 41-38 at the third quarter marker the well ran dry in the fourth quarter. Eastern Guilford out scored the Knights 24-11 wiping out the Knights lead.
The Knights finish the season 25-4 which is the best record that they have had since dropping to 3A 12 years ago. There are times when the health of your team hinders their ability to play at their full ability. This Knight team gave us all they had in their tank and we are proud of your effort!
The Lady Gryphons lose in Guilford County. The Knights lose to a team from Guilford County. We are not alone as five teams from Guilford County played tonight in all levels of the playoffs and all five won.
Gryphons girls basketball player just today was named NCHSAA Performer of the week sponsored by Time Warner. Through last weekend Keyanna Spivey has averaged over 20 points per game during the three playoff games last week. A two sport winter athlete Spivey won the State indoor shot put championship a week ago.
