More Gryphons on the way
8 p.m. The game and the series and the season are in the past, but the Telegram will continue to provide coverage of the Rocky Mount High baseball team, the NCHSAA 3-A state champions.
Click online at www.rockymounttelegram.com later tonight to read more about the Gryphons, then pick up a special championship edition of the Telegram on Sunday morning.
— Jessie H. Nunery breaks down a long and exhausting and exhilarating day for the Gryphons — a day that culminated with the fifth crown in team history and the first since 1980.
— Matt LaWell highlights a down-and-up day for Chris Berry, who struggled and picked up the loss in game two, but sparked the Gryphons at the plate and on the mound in game three.
— H. Williams Kellenberger, in his last column for the Telegram, takes a look at center fielder Brian Goodwin, a junior who committed to North Carolina more than a year ago and a rising star who some are calling the best player in Rocky Mount history.
— And Alan Campbell shares dozens of photographs from an historic day for Rocky Mount, both in the Telegram and in a slideshow online at www.rockymounttelegram.com
