Four Years. One hundred wins.
For many high school athletes that compete on the mat, 100 matches is sometimes hard to reach. One Hundred victories in a high school career are not attained by the average wrestler. One Hundred victories, more often than not, are not accumulated by very, very good wrestlers.
One Hundred wins.
That averages out to 25 Varsity wins a year for 4 years.
Senior Francisco Alfaro has been a steady winner at Rocky Mount. According to teammate Chandler Phillips, coach Jermaine Jones told the team that Francisco's victory against Nash Central in the Conference Dual Meet on December 13th was his 100th. With another month and a half of wrestling to go this season, it's anyone's guess as to what the final number will be when 'Cisco is finally done at Rocky Mount High.
NCMAT lists the state's 100 career win wrestlers, but nowhere on the list is there a Rocky Mount Gryphon. That list is updated only when someone sends in a name, so it does not mean that another Gryphon has not hit 100 before. Unfortunately this is not football, so a comprehensive record book we do not have. (Charles Alston)
One thing is for sure; at the end of this year the NCMAT 100 career win list will include one Gryphon: Francisco Alfaro.
Congratulations to Fransisco, and as a side note, we hope to have Gryphon wrestlers pictures in the near future.
