Friday to shape final rankings ahead of high school playoffs

The final week of the high school football regular season will determine the final Rating Percentage Index rankings for the state playoffs. Everyone in the Twin Counties will play this week with the exception of Southern Nash, which concluded its regular season last week with a loss at Northern Nash. Here are the matchups: • Northern Nash (5-0, 7-2) at Rocky Mount (3-2, 6-3): What could have developed into a battle for the Big East 5A/6A championship evaporated when the Gryphons lost 49-7 to Hunt and the Knights rolled past Southern Nash 49-0 this week because Northern Nash already owns the tiebreakers against Hunt and Fike. The Knights have won six straight games. • Kinston (2-2, 5-4) at Tarboro (4-0, 8-1): This battle of the Vikings takes place in Tarboro, where the Edgecombe County squad hopes to put a bow on an unbeaten Eastern Plains 2A/3A Conference schedule with a victory. Tarboro enters the contest having won 81 consecutive conference games since 2011. The team’s last league loss was a 54-48 slugfest Oct. 7, 2011, against Kinston in overtime. • Nash Central (3-1, 3-6) at American Leadership Academy-Johnston (0-4, 1-7): The Bulldogs are one of three teams along with Bunn

Gryphons hold off potent Firebirds to repeat as Nash County champions

The Nash County Flag Football Championship title will stay at Rocky Mount High School for another year. The Gryphons built a two-touchdown lead and held off a late charge by Southern Nash to win 12-7 on their home field Monday night and repeat as titleholders. Rocky Mount improved to 13-4 overall by handing the Firebirds (16-1) their first loss of the season. Southern Nash had come into the contest with 10 shutouts in its previous 16 games, including a 33-0 win Monday afternoon over Nash Central in the first semifinal game. The Firebirds had also beaten the Gryphons in two previous meetings: 39-0 on Sept. 28 followed by a 26-16 at home on Oct. 12. The third time was the charm for Rocky Mount thanks to a solid defensive effort. After a scoreless first half, the Gryphons took a 6-0 lead with 3:54 remaining in the third quarter when Milena Inge went 76 yards for the touchdown. On Southern Nash’s next possession, Za’Nadiyah Harris intercepted a pass to end the quarter. Three plays later, Inge hit Shania Wilson for a 20-yard TD pass to give Rocky Mount a 12-0 advantage with 9:54 left in the game. The Firebirds responded with
