Ayden-Grifton boys team finished 6th overall in the 1-A State Meet competition. We have had two top 6 finishes at the state meet the past two years and are two-time defending regional champions. We are graduating 12 seniors and are excited about next years team and their possibilities. Both Zach Pipkin and Justin Whitaker will return next year to lead our Chargers forward again. Great job guys. A special thanks to Aaron Edwards and Tyler Pake for their persistence and efforts this year to assist and help our team become better athletes. Thanks to Chip Cayton for everything he has hepled with for fours years and to Gwendolyn Yznitsky for her cookies at every meet.
