2010 RMHS Gryphons Baseball Team Video Tribute



This video, sent to me by Joe Bell, is a tribute to the 2010 Rocky Mount High School Gryphons baseball team which won the Big East Conference championship with a 10-0 league record, advanced to the second round of the NCHSAA 3-A playoffs and ended the season with a record of 22-3.

Hudgins signs with AFL's Chicago Rush

Darius Hudgins, father of former Rocky Mount and Elon University great Terrell Hudgins, told me last week that Terrell has signed to play wide receiver with the Chicago Rush of the Arena Football League.

The Rush, which plays its home game in the 17,000-seat Allstate Arena (formerly called the Rosemont Horizon), will open play on Monday, March 14 at Milwaukee in the Bradley Center.

The Rush have qualified for the playoffs every season of their existence, and won ArenaBowl XX in 2006 - its only losing season, but it went to the playoffs that season as a wildcard and ended up winning the championship.

Below is the Rush's 18-game schedule.

Though the NFL Network will broadcast the Rush twice this coming season (vs. Philadelphia, March 18; vs. Kansas City, April 22), you can listen to every Rush game. Just click here !
