The Gryphon team is ranked #17 Overall in the East, which includes all 1A - 4A teams. In the 3-A rankings, the Gryphons are ranked #9 in the team catagory.
Individually, there are several Gryphons who are highly ranked.
At 112, junior Ahmir Scott is ranked #8 overall and #3 in the 3-A. 125-pounder, junior Chandler Phillips is #6 overall and the highest ranked 3-A wrestler in his weight class.
Rocky Mount 130-lb senior Francisco Alfero ranks #3 overall and #2 in the 3-A. At 160, fellow senior Dedrick Silver is ranked #3 overall and #2 3-A. 171-pound senior Daryl Cross is #7 overall and is #3 3-A. Finally, at 189, senior Guy Williamson is #5 overall and #3 in the 3-A rankings.

Hey Nick,
I've got a couple of questions about these rankings. Please explain, if you can.
How can the guys playing football be ranked when they haven't wrestled this year?
And some of the guys that are ranked haven't wrestled at those weights. Your postings say Guy Williamson has wrestled at 215, but he is ranked at 189. How does that work? You wrote Chandler wrestled at 140 and is ranked at 125? Isn't that a big difference?
How do they determine where you are ranked?
Also, where are these rankings? Is there a website that we can pull up to look at all the rankings?
Thanks.
One more thing. Since you wrestled, can you explain the points in wrestling? How does a team get points and how many? I've read that we have given teams forfiet points. Explain. And is there extra points for a pin? I read someone won a match like 14-3 but following your scoring, it looked like one team got 3 and the other team didn't get any. I don't understand.
Maybe you can do a post on wrestling scoring for the people who don't know wrestling one day.
Interesting reading. More on your school life. . .
