TRENDS:
1. Rocky Mount has won 12 times scoring 21 points or less. Northern has done it nine times.
2. Rocky Mount has shut out Northern Nash five times - three times in the last four seasons, but the Knights have never shut out the Gryphons. Until Northern's first-quarter score in the 2007 tilt, the Knights went scoreless in the series for 14 quarters.
3. Both teams have won a contest in overtime.
4. Rocky Mount is the first team in the series to win on six consecutive occasions.
1 comment:
The 1985 game, which Northern Nash won by a score of 14-12, was the only regular season loss for the Gryphons that year.
We should have won. A controversial call on a two point conversion didn't help, which would have tied the game.
However, if I remember correctly, that bad call took place in the 3rd quarter. Rocky Mount had plenty of time to score again, but didn't.
