Millbrook 3-0 To Start The Season

The Millbrook wrestling team began the 2014-2015 season this past weekend in Fayetteville, NC at the Feud in the Forest tournament. The weekend tournament produced two first place winners for Millbrook:  Crayton Saby (113 lbs) and Josh Reid (152 lbs).

Dual match competition began last night for the Wildcats as the team traveled to Lee County Senior High to wrestle Middle Creek, Western Harnett, and Lee County Senior High.

The first match of the night was against Middle Creek and ex-Millbrook assistant coach Heath Allen. Last season, Millbrook defeated Middle Creek by a score of 76-6. This year the Wildcats dispatched the Mustangs by a score of 60-21. Co-captains Crayton Saby and Alexander Janni led the Wildcats with wins by pinfall.  Also recording pins during the match were Quintin Merritt (106 lbs), Jarred Prather (126 lbs), Robinson Carroll (132 lbs), Josh Reid (152 lbs), and Matthew Engel (182 lbs).  Freshman Ty Smith recorded his first varsity win for the Wildcats with a win by pinfall at 220 lbs. Congratulations Ty!

Next, the Wildcats were out to revenge last season’s 50-27 loss versus Western Harnett. The lead swung back and forth throughout the contest, all coming down to the match at 182 lbs. Matt Flores scored six points for the Wildcats with a win by pinfall and Millbrook escaped with a one-point victory, 40-39.

Millbrook’s final match of the night ended with a 49-27 victory over Lee County Senior High.  Four Wildcat wrestlers received a forfeit – Ward Carroll (113 lbs), Chris Medina (126 lbs), Josh Reid (152 lbs) and Alexander Janni (160 lbs).
