May River wrestling continued its impressive start to the season with another team title Saturday, winning the Hanahan Hawk Invitational, while Beaufort High was second in the 16-team tournament.
The Sharks had three individual champions — Noah Creque (106), Isham Peace (113), and Rod Grant (220) — and took home both outstanding wrestler awards with Peace taking the lower weights honor and Grant winning the upper weights award.
Beaufort had two champions, with Matthew Durrance (138) and Michael Cenci (170) winning their weight classes.
Chad Hadden (120), Anthon Funderburk (170), Eli Hall (220), and Kailin Prescott-Ferguson (285) finished second for the Sharks, while Travis Tran (113), Peyton Gilbert (132), Patrick Treacy (138), and Anthony Nelsen (145) placed third.
“It was good to wrestle some 3A Lower State teams and see how we stack up,” May River coach Ashley Powell said. “Our kids wrestled hard and that was good to see. Very proud of everyone associated with the May River wrestling program, but we have to get better and continue to grow.”
Beaufort also had a pair of runners-up — Gary Bayne (106) and Colton Phares (145) — and three third-place finishers in Peyton Bayne (126), Adam Burvenich (152), and Jeremiah Simmons (182).
Both teams are back in action Friday and Saturday at the Coastal Clash at Hilton Head High.
