TRINITY — Trinity sophomore wrestler Stephen Cross reached the 100-win level for his career during a meet last week.

Cross, a 120-pounder, registered a pair of victories when the Bulldogs beat visiting West Davidson 75-6 and West Cabarrus 64-15 in duals on the same night. He picked up the milestone victory against West Davidson in his first bout of the night.

Jeven Palmeri, Aiden Burkholder, Edgar Vasquez, Omega Edge, Hezekyah Matson, Simeon Hammett, Addam Bernal, Haris Idrees, Anees Kahn, Grayson Carroll and Joseph Trahan also won twice in the final regular-season home action.

Tournament nixed

The Four Rivers Conference Tournament, which had been scheduled for Saturday at Uwharrie Charter Academy, was called off because of weather-related concerns.

It’s not expected to be rescheduled as the next phase of the wrestling season has arrived.

Conferences tournaments are optional and some other conferences in the region hadn’t scheduled those for this season.

State duals coming

The state dual team playoffs are scheduled to begin Saturday with first and second rounds at school sites based on seedings.

Trinity and UCA are expected to be among the top seeds in their respective classifications when the pairings and seeds come out Thursday.
