A record six Gryphons make All-Big East boys soccer team

A record six Gryphons have been named to the 2010 Big East All-Conference boys soccer team. As you might guess, seniors (four) dominate this lineup for Rocky Mount.

The Gryphons, conference regular season champions, finished the season with a school record 22 wins (22-2-2) but fell in the third round of the NCHSAA 3-A playoffs.

A Rocky Mount player was selected Defensive Player of the Year - goalie Drew Gorham. Three Gryphons were named to the Region 3 All-region team, including Gorham.
