The NEW 6’s best rivalry
The conference name will not be the same next season, but the Nash Central and Rocky Mount High boys’ basketball teams are developing the league’s best rivalry. All three of the teams’ contest this season have been played in front of full gymnasiums. The teams feature the league’s best two players in Nash Central’s Trey Sumler and Rocky Mount High’s Tashawn Mabry.
There is a mutual respect between the two schools, coaches and players. “When the school opened up everyone thought it would be us and Northern Nash,” Nash Central coach Michael Mosley said after the Bulldogs fell to Rocky Mount, 87-76 in overtime. “It seems to be Rocky Mount and Nash Central. I don’t know why that is. That’s the way it worked out.”
Rocky Mount High coach Mike Gainey said players from each school spend time in the other program’s gyms during the summer where members from each program play against one another. Rocky Mount won two of three meetings this season. Nash Central won the regular-season title with a 9-1 record, its only loss came to the Gryphons in the finale. “We’re so close,” Gainey said. “Everyone’s good friends. Good competition like that. We go hard at it, and at the end of the game, everyone wins. That’s what you like.”

Why don’t the paper publish more articles about middle school football and JV football. I have seen good players at that that level and would like to see the names in the paper. I have friends that tell me about different player, but nothing beats a buzz in the area when two good players/programs meet at any level. I attended the Red Oak vs. Edwards middle school game and I know I saw several players that will be playing on Friday nights. I would like to see more buzz around the area around all sports, but with one of NC premiere football teams in the area, football is the buzz right now.
