HOLLYWOOD CROSSROADS -- Justice Green's fall over Chris Barbour with one second left in the opening period helped D.H. Conley seal a 42-36 victory over Eastern Wayne in the Eastern Carolina 3-A/4-A regular-season finale for both teams.
The Vikings earned eight wins on the night.
The Warriors captured six -- one each from Mario Harper, Colby Miller, Cainen Miller, Nate Matthews, Jordan Wooten and heavyweight Chris Howard.
Wooten tied the match at 36-all with a 40-second fall over Conley's Jalin Wright. That set the stage for Green's victory.
Howard closed out the match with a forfeit.
Eastern Wayne and DHC return to action Saturday in the season-ending ECC individual championships. Opening-round matches begin at 9:30 a.m. inside the Rose Garden at J.H. Rose High School.
