The Gryphon wrestling team did a pretty good job holding its own on Saturday at SouthWest Edgecombe's annual Pierce-Davis Memorial Tournament.
Senior Francisco Alfero (135) and junior Ahmir Scott (112) both won their weight divisions, while senior Guy Williamson placed second at 215 pounds.
Grant Wilson (HWT), Johnny Stewart (145), JK williamson (160), and Kinston Peters (130) each won two matches apiece on the day.
despite not entering wrestlers at 103, 119, 125, 140, 171, or 189, the Gryphons team held their own in the team points. At one point, the Gryphons held the top spot in the team standings before eventually fading to seventh out of twelve teams. Not bad for only entering half a team.
Rocky Mount will host Lousberg on Wednesday at 7:00 pm. The team hopes to welcome back its football players, including seniors Dedrick Silver and Darryl Cross and Junior Justin Adkinson, along with injury-recovering junior Chandler Phillips in time for the first conference tournament next Saturday.
That NEW 6 Conference tournament will be held at Rocky Mount as all six conference foes will wrestle each other on the day.
Hope to see everyone on Wednesday and Saturday.

Nick,
Love the blog. Keep it up.
How many times did those guys wrestle that day? A bunch of guys won 2 times. I'm guessing they had to lose once, but so did Williamson winning second, right?
If there were 12 teams, this must have taken all day.
