Nine Rocky Mount wrestlers are headed to South Central High School in Winterville to compete in the State Individual Regional Friday and Saturday, February 13-14. The wrestlers will weigh in starting at about 4:00, with matches slated to begin about 5:30. The top 16 wrestlers, by winning percentage in each weight class, will compete for the opportunity to qualify for the State Individual Tournament in Winston Salem's Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum February 20 and 21.
The East Regional is a double elimination tournament. Lose once, go to the Consolation Bracket, with a shot at taking a 3rd or 4th place finish & a ticket to Winston-Salem. Lose twice, and your 2008-2009 season is over. Four wrestlers from each division will be eliminated on Friday, while only four will be left undefeated and in the Championship bracket. Four wrestlers will be left on the brink of elimination, at 1-1.
Saturday's action is scheduled to begin at 9am.
