Three times within the Last decade the Lady Gryphons have played a fellow conference member five times in a season. Twice it has been Northern Nash
Just like this year the Gryphons played Northern in the Christmas Tournament just like they collided with Nash Central this year. They met in both conference meeting and met Northern for the conference tournament. Twice just like with the Bulldogs this year. One of those meetings with Northern was for the right to go to the semi finals in Fayetteville just like tonight except tonight's winner is heading to Northern Durham who crushed topsoil 61-25. The team heading to Greensboro will be the Lady Gryphons who handle Nash Central 56-39.
Keyanna Spivey scored 25 points and Michelle Gainey 15 in Scoring more than the entire Bulldog team.
Just maybe Terry Sanford's 16-11 record was very deceiving. The Knights of Northern Nash have not run over anybody in the playoffs so far and again tonight all Northern Knights fans can be glad Darius Spradley plays for the the green and gold.
Northern led by six at end of the first quarter. The second, third and almost all the fourth Terry Sanford inched closer and closer and then it happened again. Tied 56 all and the clock ticking down to under ten seconds Henry Drake knows there is only one person who needs the ball in his hands with the clock ticking down Darius Spradley. Spradley and the Knights are heading to round four as Terry Sanford fails to tie and another home game beating Terry Sanford 58-56.
Northern will take on the number three seed Eastern Guilford who shipped East Alamance 82-62. Round four is Tuesday.
It has not happened since 2012 when Rocky Mount boys and girls advanced to the Regional Semi finals so Northern boys and Gryphons girls help send two Big East teams to the Regionals.
The playoff ride is not good news for the Jaguars of Rocky Mount Prep. Their fourth meeting of the year goes to Riverside Martin for the third time but surely this is the most important one Riverside 66 RM Prep 62.

Show Down Time
Rocky Mount Lady Gryphons won the regular season Big East Title. Nash Central won the Big East Tournament title their first ever in their history season ending tournament title. The winner will play in the East Regional semi finals against either N E Guilford 27-1 Number one seed in the east or Topsoil 17-9 the 7th seed. Should NE Guilford win they host either Big East team. Should Topsoil win they would travel to Rocky Mount or host Nash Central.
The Match Up.
Nash Central 18-8 @ Rocky Mount 21-3 6 pm tonight
These two have played four times each winning twice. Nash Central won their first meeting in the Christmas Tournament 40-36. Michaela Nelms scored 17 for the Bulldogs while Keyanna Spivey had 10 for the Gryphons. The first conference meeting the Gryphon won in Rocky Mount 61-52 with Nelms scoring 20 and Spivey 23. The encounter in the Dog Pound the Gryphons won 51-36 as Nelms scored 12 and Spivey 24. Then last week in the conference tournament final the Bulldogs score a 52-49 win. Nelms finds the nets for 21 and Spivey 25.
Those four meetings the average score has been 49-45 Rocky Mount. Interestingly the Bulldogs are averaging 12 points above what Rocky Mount averages as they have held all teams to 33 per game. Nash Central must find a way to slow Keyanna Spivey below her 20.5 average against the Bulldogs. Rocky Mount has fared better when Michaela Helms was held below her average. 16 in the two Rocky Mount wins. 19 in the Bulldogs wins. Which one will accomplish what they have to do to win?
The Match Up Terry Sanford 16-11 @ Northern Nash 24-3 6pm tonight
The Bulldogs average 55 points per game while Northern scores at a 71 clip. First look it would seem that Terry Sanford will have to slow down the pace of this game. The other side of the ball the Bulldogs hold the opposition to 51 points while the Knights 55. If the stats don't lie then this will be a run and gun attempt by Northern and a walk up the court attempt by Terry Sanford.
Sanford has three double digit scorers in which the Knights will have to contend with. Telligence Johnson leads the team at 14 per contest followed by Player Stats 13.5 and Gabe Harbison 11.8. Stats is the top rebounder at 8.5. The heart and soul of the Knights is Darius Spradley who has been playing on a bad toe. The Knights will need him at his best plus not in any foul trouble.
The Match Up Riverside Martin 22-3 @ Rocky Mount Prep 22-5 7pm
Have met three times this season with Riverside winning twice. Prep won at home 69-68. Lost at Riverside 77-63 and just last weekend at NC Wesleyan lost in Tournament 67-58
Riverside is led by Markel Freeman 18 pts per game. His main help comes from Jordan Spruill 12.6 and Jadaki Bonds 13.1. Prep counters with Keyshawn Bryant 18 points. His main help comes from teammates Trevor Batchlor 10.6 and Jayden Draugh 10.1
Any of the four teams still alive from Nash County that win will officially be playing Tuesday in the Eastern Regional semi's. Three can make it we know one will and there is a chance that only one Will unless all involved play the greatest game ever.

Big Night For Big East
Nash Central @ Rocky Mount 6pm Saturday
Terry Sanford @ Northern Nash 6pm Saturday
Riverside Martin @ Rocky Mount Prep 7pm Saturday
We talked yesterday about the triple offensive threat that Northwood was going to present against the Lady Gryphons of Rocky Mount.
Rocky Mount jumped to a first quarter lead of 20-12. 30-23 was the halftime Gryphons lead. Then that Gryphons defense took over. Rocky Mount managed only 10 points in the 3rd and fourth quarters each. Between the half and the end of the game the Gryphons defense held Northwood to only 12 points and bring home a 50-35 win.
Including the second half of Tuesday's first round game the Lady Gryphons have held Westover and Northwood to 15 points in the second half of both games. Remember these are playoffs games where the teams have earned their way into the playoffs.
Keyanna Spivey if she's not Big East player of the year there should be an investigation led the way with 24 points and 15 rebounds. The Gryphons Earned a home game after a major upset.
The Lady Bulldogs of Nash Central traveled to Cameron to take on Union Pines.The ride back to Rocky Mount will be a loud joyous ride home as the Lady Bulldogs have pulled off and upset of a team with only two losses.
Like Rocky Mount Nash Central jumped out early leading by 10 16-6 after a quarter. Much like what their mascot name says they grabbed hold of the Union Pines team by the collar and didn't let go still leading by ten at the half. The lead melted to nine after three quarters but a spirited run by Union Pines could not make up the difference as the Bull Dogs out scored UP 17-14 in the fourth to spring the upset score of 54-42
This sets up a third round showdown between the top two teams in the Big East Rocky Mount and Nash Central. Don't know yet when this game will be played but be there early. These two have already played each other twice splitting winning two each. Rocky Mount won the only game at Rocky Mount 61-52.
Up in the Rocky Mount story I gave you my pick for player of the year for the girls. Now what about the boys? Northern Nash played conference foe Fike tonight after having controlled both games during the regular season. The Knights are banged up and tonight they got all they wanted from the Golden Demons.
This game was close all the way with neither side being able to take control. This is where you insert the player of the year. Fike tied the score with under a minute to play at 57 all. Darius Spragley said boys follow me. Sinking a jump shot with 22 seconds to play to give the Knights the lead then after a Fike missed shot sank two free throws to send Northern to round three after a 61-57 win. If Spradley is not Big East Player of the year call in the SBI.
It turns out to be a big night for Nash County basketball. Rocky Mount Prep has advanced after beating River Mill Academy 67-54
Northern will host Terry Sanford a 64-53 winner over Eastern Wayne. We will be posting both times of the Nash Central Rocky Mount girls game and Northern Terry Sanford as soon as they are known

Second Round Tonight
More than half the field that started the playoffs Tuesday night from this area are still alive. Not many teams with losing records left and certainly the competition level increases with every victory. Let's take a look at our local survivors that are playing tonight.
Northwood Girls 22-6@ Rocky Mount 20-3 6pm: Lady Gryphons win their 20th game with their victory over Westover. Northwood finished second in the Big Eight with a10-2 conference record trailing Orange 11-1. They average 50.4 points per game while on defense they hold down their foes to 39.75. The Gryphons score at a 57 per game pace while yielding only 33.
Northwood has a trio of scorers that the Lady Gryphons will have to contend with. Kadie Snipes averages 16.6 and is joined by Chandler Adams 15.2 and Kristian Eaves 15.1. These three players score 47 points a game while Rocky Mount only gives up 33 so something has to give. Keyanna Spivey 19 points 9 rebounds will be a load for Northwood to worry about.
Northwood beat JF Webb in the opening round 45-42 while the Gryphons swarmed Westover 70-9. The winner of this game will meet the winner of the Union Pines/ Nash Central meeting. If the Gryphons win they would travel to Union Pines Saturday and if Nash Central wins to come to Rocky Mount. Northwood wins they would travel to either winner of the Union Pines/ Nash Central game.
Fike 18-8 @ Northern Nash 23-3 7pm: Regardless of what sport it is it seems the Big East also winds up playing another Big East team somewhere in the playoffs. I guess that means we win a lot of playoff games and as the teams fall by the wayside we are beating the other leagues and that leaves Big East teams only to play. These two teams played twice during the season Northern winning both 89-74 at Fike and 84-65 at Northern.
Fike averages 66 per game while Northern scores at a 71 points a game pace. Fike is led by Samson Strickland scores 19 a game and yanks down 10.7 rebounds per contest. He gets help from Tyshaud Lucas 10 points and Ricky Fuller11.6 points per game. Northern is led by Darius Spragley 17.9 points and Undray Cherry 13.6. Raymond Bullock controls the boards at 8.2 per game.
The winner of this game is set to meet the winner of 8 seed Eastern Wayne 12-14 at home to Terry Sanford 15-11. If Northern wins they are home to either Saturday night. If Fike wins they go to either.
The big question in this game is the health of the Knights as it seems in the last couple of weeks that they have had the injury bug to hit them. They controlled both games against the Golden Demons during the season. Are the Knight's injuries enough to give Fike an opportunity?
Nash Central 17-8 @ Union Pines 24-3: This is a tough match up for the Lady Bulldogs. Union Pines averages 52 points per ball game while the Lady Dogs 49. Leading point producer for UP is Byona Shields at 16.1 and her main helper Hadiya Baiser 11.7 and rebounds at 7.9.
Nash Central will respond with Michaela Nelms 18.4. She also grabs 8.1 rebounds. Two others get double digits points in Myia Spivey 10.8 and Kayalia Mitchell 10.2
The winner of this game meets Rocky Mount/Northwood winner. If Union Pines wins they host either. If Nash Central wins they would go to Rocky Mount or visit Northwood.

Massacre At Rocky Mount
Many of you know I think the football playoffs are one game to long. Too many times the lower seed is blown out and the best thing that can happen for the best team is not get anyone hurt for next weeks game. Tonight Just maybe basketball has one game too many.
Westover comes from Fayetteville and won 11 games in the season. They will not win 12. The Lady Gryphons held Westover to six points on The first quarter. Rocky Mount had 29 at the end of the quarter and that is all they would need. The Wolverines would not score in the second or third quarter and only 3 in the fourth quarter.
Pam Gainey cleared the bench early and often. The Lady Gryphons had 22 steals and when the final horn sounded the Lady Gryphons beat West Over 70-9. The score is correct.
Nash Central girls hosted Western Alamance and The Lady Bulldogs had a tussle with the team from Alamance County. The fact is, it was anybody's game with two minutes to go and the Bulldogs advance. 50-45.
Coach Henry Drake's gamble last week sitting his star player in Big East Tournament paid off at home tonight as the Knights host North East Guilford. How healthy are the Knights for the two week playoff journey to Chapel Hill. Don't know but the Knights are healthy enough to survive and play another day. This one was close all the way but Northern is home again Thursday as they Beat NE Guilford 62-59.
Just maybe Nash Central as the number two seed from the Big East hosted Chapel Hill who was 10-4 in conference play that This was a tough match up for the Bulldogs. It was as the Bulldogs fall at home 44-40.

Playoff Brackets
They are a day late but as expected the Big East got seven teams into the state playoffs which kick offs off Tuesday unless both teams agree to play Monday.
The Lady Gryphons draw the number five seed and will have a home game Tuesday night against Westover from Fayetteville. Coach Mike Gainey Athletic Director at Rocky Mount is shooting for. A 6pm tip. Westover will be bringing a 10-10 record up I-95.
Should victory be secured by the Lady Gryphons they are matched up with Northwood seeded 14th 18-2 against JF Webb 12-8
The Big East number two Nash Central gets and 11 seeding and a home game against Western Alamance 12-8. A win would give the Lady Bulldogs a second home game against either Union Pines 19-1 or Swansboro 11-9
Fike as the Big East number 3 seed also gets a home game as they host Grays Creek. Hunt is the only Big East girls team on the road traveling to NE Guilford.
The NCHSAA is using a new computer format and the guys from Northern Nash should like the new system. They draw the number one over all seed in the east and have a computer record of 20-0.
This year with only one game the Regional Final as the only game played in Fayetteville all the Knights need to do is win and they will receive four home games until the Regional Final. They host Tuesday NE Guilford 10-10. A victory Tuesday would throw the Knights into a game with the winner of Fike 17-3 or Grays Creek. That game will be at Fike.
Nash Central the Big East number two gets a nine seed and will host Chapel Hill 13-7. A first round match up would send the Bulldogs to Southern Lee if they beat Havelock or Havelock to Nash Central.
The Big East should love this new computer rankings as the Big East has only one road game in the opening round.
North Carolina Wesleyan Basketball season came to an end today at home as the Bishops beat Huntingdon 94-76. The Conference USA South scoring leader Adrian Moore sat out today's game due To a sprained ankle injury suffered during Saturday's game.
Not to worry however as the Bishops had plenty of help keeping Huntingdon winless in conference play this year. Freshman center AJ Frye poured in 27 points. Sophomore Robert Wilson pitched in 25 while Greg Joesph who got most of the Moore injury playing time added 15 and Justin Tankelewicz produced 12. The win guaranteed the Battling Bishops a winning season with the entire team returning next year.
The Lady Gryphons draw the number five seed and will have a home game Tuesday night against Westover from Fayetteville. Coach Mike Gainey Athletic Director at Rocky Mount is shooting for. A 6pm tip. Westover will be bringing a 10-10 record up I-95.

Sophomore Robert Wilson pitched in 25 while Greg Joesph who got most of the Moore injury playing time added 15 and Justin Tankelewicz produced 12. The win guaranteed the Battling Bishops a winning season with the entire team returning next year.
