Gryphons to hit the airways

Rocky Mount may not have a radio crew following it at every football game this coming season, but it will seem that way.

Gryphon football games will be carried on the radio/Internet six times this coming season. Five games will be a part of WDWG 98.5 FM's Twin Counties Game of the Week package. The first of the five will be Rocky Mount's home game with Bertie on Aug. 24.

Rocky Mount's Homecoming game with Wilson Fike on Oct. 12 will be carried on WLLY 1350 AM out of Wilson - online at ihigh.com/absports.
