The Northwest Guilford wrestling team defeated Davie County in the regional semifinals and then Mooresville High School in the regional finals to win the NCHSAA 4A West Regional Championship late last night. In exciting fashion, Viking wrestler James Joplin won the last match of the night with a 21-5 score to earn 5 team points to tie host Mooresville at 35-35. When a dual match is tied the referees use criteria established by the NFHS, thus after a few agonizing minutes of anticipation the Vikings were determined the winners and advanced to the 4A dual team state championship.
State dual team championship is at Greensboro Coliseum Fieldhouse this Saturday at noon versus East Region champion Laney High School. This is the Vikings second visit to the state dual team championship in school history with the first coming in 1994.
The match will be at 12 noon at the Greensboro Coliseum Field House. Admission will be $8.
