Rocky Mount wrestlers Chandler Phillips and Janicento Williamson are headed West. As in Greensboro. As in the NCHSAA Individual Wrestling Championships. They will join ten other Big East 3-A wrestlers at the event. The Big East Conference will send a total of 12 wrestlers to the Championships, including eleven from Nash County.
Northern Nash qualified five wrestlers, while Rocky Mount, Southern Nash and Nash Central qualified two each. Wilson Fike added another qualifier.
Looking over the qualifiers by team across the state and across each of the four divisions, there was an amazing fact that stood out above all others. Parkland High School qualified all 14 of their wrestlers for the state tournament. Parkland has been a 3-A power for years, winning several team state championships. They moved up to 4-A this year and unseated Cary as team state champions.
Speaking of Cary, they qualified 11 wrestlers, to match 3-A Union Pines. Croatan qualified 13 and Trinity 12 in the 2-A ranks. Orange, 3-A team state runners-up, qualified 10.
Out of the 3-A East, where the Gryphons are located, Havelock and South Brunswick each qualified 9 wrestlers.
Here are the Big East Conference State Qualifiers by team:
Rocky Mount: Chandler Phillips, Janicento Williamson
Southern Nash: Buddy Tom, Steven Murray
Nash Central: Josh Taylor, Jacob Robinson
Wilson Fike: John Messer
Northern Nash: Tavis Richardson, Kris Horton, Bryan Sweet, Denzel Perry, Joe Young
