Several teams had to get up early for a long ride, including North Johnston, Pasquatank, Edenton-Holmes, Manteo, First Flight and Douglas Byrd. Each member of each team gathered with hopes of capturing an individual title in the 18th annual event.
Chandler Phillips repeated his performance of two weekends before, rolling to his second championship of the season. Phillips stood atop the podium late Saturday evening after extending his season starting winning streak to 12 matches.
Along the way, he pinned his first 140 pound opponent from Douglas Byrd High, marking his 100th varsity victory. Phillips also pinned his second opponent, from Conley, before easily out pointing his championship match foe from North Johnston 7-2 to claim the title.
