Gryphons close out Championship Run; Season

After advancing to Saturday's action in the Consolation bracket, Rocky Mount's two remaining wrestlers didn't last long.

Within the first twenty minutes of the day's action, junior Ahmir Scott had lost to NEW-6 foe, Vincent Webb, by a 3-1 decision in overtime. Scott was in control up 1-0 with thirty seconds remaining in the 3rd and final period before Webb escaped to tie the score at 1-1 and extend the match into overtime. Web would go on to secure a takedown in the first overtime, where first points scored wins the match.

Phillips didn't fare as well, falling to Morgan McDonald in the first period. McDonald used a takedown off the opening whistle to gain control before taking the pin.

Both won't hang their heads long, as they gained valuable experience for next year, their senior seasons, as they look to be back here next year this time.
