My NCHSAA 3-A state championship poll voters were a little off, so it seems, as West Rowan claimed the NCHSAA 3-A state football title with a convincing 35-7 win over West Craven Saturday at BB&T Field in Winston-Salem.
In my poll results, only three percent of you chose West Rowan to win it all. Congrats to that small group for getting it right
Too bad the 65 percent who chose the Gryphons were wrong!
From reports I got Saturday (I saw the games in Raleigh at Carter-Finley Stadium) - mainly from WCTI TV 12 sports anchor Brian North, it may have been the setting, the overwhelming desire to get their coach a title for his retirement present or just plain nervousness that put West Craven in a hole from the very beginning of its game with West Rowan.
An 88-yard TD run on the very first play from scrimmage for West Rowan could do that!
