Millbrook Wrestlers Compete In The State Tournament

This past weekend, two Millbrook wrestlers had the honor of participating in the 4-A State Tournament in Greensboro!  Senior co-captain Vincent Ngwu wrestled in the 220 pound bracket while junior co-captain Crayton Saby wrestled in the 113 pound bracket.

Crayton went 2-2 for the weekend.  He recorded a quick win by pinfall in his opening match versus JH Rose on Friday afternoon.  Saturday proved difficult in the 113 pound bracket.  Crayton dropped his first match on Saturday to fall to the consolation bracket.  He advanced to the third round of the consolation bracket where he was finally eliminated by his opponent from Panther Creek.  His 2-2 record this year is an improvement to last year’s 1-2 record in the 2014 State Tournament.  Congratulations Crayton!

Vincent was busy this weekend, wrestling a total of five matches and finishing with a 3-2 record in 4th place!  He advanced to the semi-finals with a close overtime victory in his first match and a win by pinfall in his quarter-final match.  He lost to his opponent, soon-to-be 220 pound champion from NW Guilford, in the semi-finals.  Once in the consolation bracket, Vincent won his consolation semi-final match, advancing him to the consolation finals.  He finished fourth on the weekend!  Vincent soaked in the experience on the mat and on the podium.  After graduation this summer, Vince plans to join the Navy.  Congratulations Vincent!
