I guess it was the perfect way to end his final regular season game. Rocky Mount senior Tashawn Mabry scored 32 points in the Gryphons' 90-63 win at Northern Nash Friday. And that performance moved him past Tarboro's Marquetta Dickens (N.C. State) as the Twin Counties' all-time leading scorer at 2,242 points.
Both Rocky Mount teams ended up as Big East Conference regular season champs.
Between the games Friday, one the players on that all-time scoring list was honored - former Lady Knight center Carisse Moody.
She was especially happy that the Northern girls upset Rocky Mount 36-35. I will have an article on her on her return to her alma mater later next week.
Both Rocky Mount teams will return to action in the Big East Tournament semifinals Wednesday (boys) and Thursday (girls) at Wilson Hunt.
