The Gryphons had their work cut out going into this match. Wrestling most of the year without regular 103 or 119 pounders, they would also be missing wrestlers in the 112 and 125 slots on the night. On top of that, Guy Williamson's participation was still in question. Coach Jones is taking no chances with Guy's ankle he injured in the last conference match. Williamson said he was ready to go, but Jones wants everyone to be 100% for Individual Conference and Regional action.
Dedrick Silver got things rolling for the Gryphs with an opening match 10-1 victory at 171. Daryl Cross followed with a pin at 189 before Williamson and Grant Wilson won by forfeit.

The Gryphon wrestlers will make their last appearance at home for the season on Wednesday, January 28 at 7:00 pm against Tarboro.
