A new Gryphon has been born

Rocky Mount swim coach Kelley Tyndall and her husband Chris welcomed Ayden Lane Tyndall into the world last Friday afternoon at 4:43 - weighing 7 lbs. and 14 oz., born just hours before Rocky Mount's big win over J.H. Rose.

Mother and son came home on Sunday and are doing fine.

What memories this future Gryphon will be told of the weekend of his birth!

Father Chris and uncle Jonathan will inform him that the night he was born, the Gryphons pounced on rival Greenville Rose. Both Tyndalls played football for Rocky Mount.

And Grandpa Bernie, along with Chris and Jonathan, will give Ayden a blow-by-blow recap of the East Carolina Pirates' exciting last-second win over UNC!

Bernie and Chris, as most of you know, are longtime members of Rocky Mount's football "Chain Gang." and ECU alums. Jonathan is a sophomore at ECU.
