The Mitchell High School Mountaineers traveled to Mooresville for the Gavin Sharpe Memorial Invitational tournament this weekend, and multiple wrestlers came away with victories.
Mountaineer Noah Burke finished third in his weight class, defeating Landon Dowell from West Cabarrus High School 11-3, as well as Daniel Young from Cape Fear High School by pinfall, but lost in the semifinals to Tiaj Thao of Davie County High School.
Bryson McFalls once again had a strong showing for the Mountaineers, finishing fourth after defeating Parker Stillwell from East Gaston High School, but losing in the semifinals to Garrison Raper from South Rowan High School by decision.
In junior varsity action, Thomas Hise went undefeated in his matches.
Next up for Mitchell will be Western Highlands Conference duals on Tuesday, facing both Madison and Avery high schools, and Friday night will be senior night at home against Rosman.
