Well, that is if you consider Senior Francisco Alfaro's mysterious omission as a typo-error. I have e-mailed sports editor Ben Jones asking how in the world they could leave one of the most decorated wrestlers in Rocky Mount history off of the list. i have still not recieved a response, but this had to be a mistake.
As of now, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
The remaining five State Qualifiers for the Gryphons who made the Team:
Ahmir Scott
Chandler Phillips
JK Williamson
Dedrick Silver
Guy Williamson
Johnny Stewart and Darryl Cross (who both fell just one win shy of going to states) both garnered Telegram All-Area Honorable Mention.
For guiding the team to it's second consecutive Regular Season Championship and the qualification for the Team State Tournament that goes along with them, boasting 4 Conference Individual Champions along with 4 runners-up, qualifying eight team members for the State Individual Regional, and getting six of those to qualify for Individual State Tournament, Coach Jermaine Jones was named Coach of the Year by the Telegram.
Congratulations to all. And a fond farewell to Seniors Francisco, Dedrick, Guy and Darryl.
Rocky Mount's eight Telegram All-Area team members (plus Alfaro) after NEW 6 Conference Tournament. All nine placed in their weight classes.
