Coach Jermaine Jones will take his Gryphon wrestling team to Pikeville to face homestanding C.B. Aycock Tuesday night in the first round of the NCHSAA State Team tournament. Aycock is the first seed out of the Eastern Carolina Conference, while Rocky Mount is the Big East #2 seed.
Coastal Conference #1 seed Havelock will face Big East Wild Card selection Nash Central in the other first round match at Aycock High. The winners of the two matches will face each other in the second round contest.
The Gryphons fell to the Falcons on Jan. 16 at the Thomas Cowles Duals, 48-25. Rocky Mount was without John Earl, Adam McRea and Jemor Parker for that match, while Nick Wescott retired early because of injury. If the Gryphs can send out a full squad this time around, the results could send them into Round Two for the first time under Jones.
At Currituck High School, Big East Champions and #1 Seed Northern Nash will go against Eastern Carolina #2 Triton in the first round. If they can get into the second round, they will face the winner of the Currituck vs. South Central match.
