HAMPTON -- The magic continues for Grassfield.
The first-year Chesapeake school needed criteria to beat Hickory for a shot at the tihrd-place bout in the Black & Blue Division Saturday night, but that's exactly what the Grizzlies got, thanks to a major decision from heavyweight Kevin Mahoney.
Hickory held a 36-32 lead heading into the final bout, and Mahoney needed a major decision to tie the match and force the criteria. Mahoney won 12-4 over Ray Daugherty, and because Grassfield had eight match wins to Hickory's six, the Grizzlies moved on.
Grassfield will face Chancellor for the chance to place third in the division. The match is in-progress, with the Grizzlies holding a 6-0 lead after one match.
