Rocky Mount's wrestling squad traveled to Greenville on Wednesday and were not treated as welcomed guests by the Rampants from J.H. Rose High.
The Gryphons were bullied by the Rampants and dropped their dual match 18-53.
The Gryphs were pinned in the opening 152 pound match, defeated by tech fall in both 160 and 171 pound matches, then dropped then next three - 189, 215 & Heavyweight - by pin. Six matches in, the Rampants had a commanding 34-0 lead.
Rocky Mount did not send out a wrestler for the 112 or 145 pound matches, but Alex Knight got a forfeit victory at 130 for the Gryphons.
Freshman Mason Holt recorded the only pin of the evening for RM in the 103 match.
Junior John Earl took the 119 tilt by decision, 8-5, while senior Chandler Phillips tallied the only other Rocky Mount points on the night, winning his 135 pound match by an 8-1 margin.
Sophomore Elliot Whitehead (140) wrestled well for the Gryphons in the last match of the evening. In a back and forth battle, Whitehead came up just short while falling by a slim 8-7 decision.
The Gryphons will travel back to Greenville on Saturday, Dec. 19 to wrestle in the Milt Sherman Duals at D.H. Conley High. The team expects to take on five opponents in the all day event.
