The North Carolina High School Basketball Coaches Association has announce their All District teams and Nash County is well represented. Head coaches of Northern Nash Boys team Henry Drake and Pam Gainey of Rocky Mount girls basketball are the District 3 coaches of the year.
Drake in his second year at Northern Nash went 25-4 and a perfect 10-0 in the conference regular season. Last season the Knights were 13-12 in 2016/17 Knights so they almost doubled their win total. Gainey has been the head coach of the Lady Gryphons this entire century and then some led the Gryphons to an undefeated regular conference season and 22-4 overall. Both coaches teams made it to the fourth round of the state playoffs.
By the way last week we remarked about it is nice to be able to say you lost to the eventual state champion. The Rocky Mount girls can say that as Northern Guilford the team that beat them won the state title beating Jacksonville 42-37 while the team to end Northern's season Eastern Guilford lost to Cox Mill 70-66. You may ask where is Cox Mill? It's is a newer school in Concord.
The District 3 All District team features two players on the first team. Big East Player of the Year Montre' Cash of Nash Central and Darius Spragley of Northern Nash. Making the third team was Undray Cherry of Northern Nash.
Big East Player of The Year Michaela Nelms is a first teamer for the girls. She is joined by Keyanna Spivey and Michelle Gainey of Rocky Mount. The second team has two more from the Big East Nyia Spivey from Nash Central and Fike's Jada lee. The third team has Kayalin Mitchell of Nash central and Fike's Aniya Thigpen.
