Gryphon Wrestlers Head to NCHSAA Individual Regionals

Ten Rocky Mount Gryphons have qualified for the NCHSAA Individual Regionals. The two day event will start Friday at Winterville's South Central High School. To qualify, individual wrestlers must fall in the top 16 in their weight class, by winning percentage, from the 23 teams comprising the Region. There is also a ten match minimum that must first be met.

The first two Championship rounds and the first round of consolations will be contested on Friday evening. The second two Championship rounds and the remaining consolation rounds will be completed Saturday.

The top four wrestlers in each weight class will go on to wrestle the following weekend in Greensboro at the NCHSAA Individual State Tournament. The Gryphons sent six wrestlers to states last year.
