Gainey nearing 250 career wins

The Rocky Mount boys basketball team can get their head coach Mike Gainey his 250th career victory with three more wins this season.

Rocky Mount hosts Northern Nash Friday. With a victory, it would get the No. 2 seed from the Big East Conference and will get a bye in next week's tournament - ironically, at RMHS.

Should the Gryphons then make the tourney finals and win, Gainey would get his 250th triumph - and head into the playoffs on a double high note.

But these games aren't played on paper. So come out Friday and next week to see if the Gryphons can get him this nice milestone.
