Tonight in Greensboro at 8:05pm 126 pound Rocky Mount Gryphon Wilson Smith won the State Championship by beating Aydan Arroyo of North Buncombe in a decision 10-4.  Smith dominated the second period scoring six points and holding a 8-0 lead.. The Gryphon Sophomore will now join the wall of champions in the gym at Rocky Mount as he finishes his outstanding season at 53-3

Ryan Ashley 220 pounder from Southern Nash won the consolation bracket and takes home third place in the state Wrestling championships.

Hunt 15-7 the top seed from the Big East is seeded sixth will host Nash Central 13-9 27th seed Monday night to kick off the 2015 boys state championships.  The price you pay when all six teams from your conference are in the tournament some where some of the six have to square off in early games.

Northern Nash 9-12 seeded 14th the Big East #2 will be playing a home double header Monday with the girls as the boys host Southern Lee 13-9 and a 19th seed.

The Big East 3rd seed is taken by Rocky Mount 12-7 18th seed and they will hit the road traveling to Eastern Alamance 15th seed and 18-4.

Fike  15-7 22nd seed will travel as the Big East four seed to Northern Guilford 11th seed and 16-6.

Southern Nash 12-10  is in and they are the lowest seeded boys team at 28th and they have one of the shortest travels as they head to Raleigh to take on Cardinal Gibbons 16-6 and the 5th overall seed.

Northern Nash 21-0 will be seeded # 2 and don't go jumping up and down, it means nothing when comparing to the other unbeaten team Eastern Wayne all it does is protect both teams from each other until the Regional finals if both make it that far.  The will host Monday night Morehead the 31st seed and 10-12 on the season so look for a double header at Northern Monday night.

It always seems that the NCHSAA tries their best to stick it to the Big East and they have again.  Hunt 17-5 the 13th seed will host cross town rival Fike 10-12 and the 20th seed.  Hunt is the 2nd seed from Big East and Fike is the 3rd seed. Thanks NCHSAA!

Nash Central 12-10 is in as the 27th seed and travel to Havelock 14-7 and the six seed in the east.

Rocky Mount 10-9 is seeded 28th and makes the trip to Wendell to play Corinth Holders 17-5 and the sixth seed in the east.

Now would somebody try telling me how the conference 3rd seed has to play our conference #2 while our number four is seeded lower than our number five seed?  There will be a Big East basketball tournament after all.  Hunt Girls will host Fike Monday while the Hunt boys host Nash Central.
