Post match comments from head coach DA White, "We wrestled well tonight and will wrestle this Saturday at Durham School of the Arts. This will be the Individual Conference Wrestling Tournament starting around 9:30. We will have to wait until the weekend to see if we qualify for the State Duals next week. We have had a good season sporting a 5-1 conference and 11-2 overall record. We have showed much improvement since the beginning of the season. The kids have put in a lot of hard work and it is starting to pay off."
