GREENSBORO - Now the Gaineys are even, thanks to Rocky Mount's all-time scorer.
Both Mike and Pam Gainey can both claim a head coaching victory in a N.C. Coaches Association East-West All-Star Basketball Game. Monday night, Mike Gainey, head coach of the East mens squad, saw his star come through for him one more time.
Tashawn Mabry, who led the Gryphons to an NCHSAA 3-A state title last winter, made a free throw with 3.6 seconds remaining to give the East a 99-98 comeback win over the West at Greensboro Coliseum.
Mabry, who is headed to Rhode Island, ended the game with 17 points, slighty behind UNC-bound Reggie Bullock, who scored a game-high 20 points. Bullock received the game's MVP honors for his performance (10 rebounds, five assists, three steals).
Pam Gainey led the East women to a 64-47 triumph over the West when she was a head coach in 2002.
Not since 2002 had a Rocky Mount boys basketball player played for the East team. That player was Jolly Manning.
For the fourth straight season, RMHS had at least one athlete participate in the East-West games.
