NAAFS "Caged Fury 7 (SemiFinals)"

On October 10, 2009, Team GriffonRawl sent four men into semi-final action of the 2009 NAAFS amateur series.

Ryan Lose failed in his attempt to avenge an earlier defeat to Doug Kulbis at 145lbs. An entertaining fight which Lose did a good deal of damage, both men showed incredible heart. It was Kulbis, however, that was able to secure a choke mid-way through round three.

George Comer defeated a very dangerous Jordan Knippelberg by unanimous decision to send the second amateur lightweight from the team to the finals in three years. George avoided the dangerous submission specialist utilizing his athleticism and well thought-out game plan.

Reggie Parks and Bryon McCroskey were both set for action at 170lbs. The former would showcase the spirit of competition and sportsmanship that makes Team Griffonrawl truly a TEAM. Bryon's opponent in August failed to show following weigh-ins and Bryon again found his opponent unable to fight due to a legitimate reason. In an incredible display of unselfishness, Reggie bowed out of the tournament, allowing Bryon to take his place and fight his opponent, Larry Ray. Bryon secured a victory in round one by ankle lock. NAAFS officials did the right move, and declared Reggie a winner in his "bout." Not willing to fight each other, Bryon and Reggie were declared co-champions in the welterweight division.

NAAFS "Night of Champions 2009 "

On Saturday, December 5, 2009 Team Griffonrawl sent two men into action at NAAFS Night of Champions.

But first and foremost, Reggie Parks and Bryon McCroskey were honored as the 2009 NAAFS Welterweight C0-Champions!

In the cage, Bryon McCroskey made an unsuccessful drop to 155lbs, coming just short by a split decision from the judges. It appeared McCroskey did much more damage, but Tony Castillo may have been more active.

In the 155lb amateur title fight, George Comer, whom most had as a significant underdog, executed a great game plan to defeat rival Kevin Rothacker of Strong Style Fight Team. This is the second amateur lightweight title in three years for Team Griffonrawl.

Bryon McCroskey (155) improved his record and showcased a beatiful combination on his feet and finished strong forcing a stop to the action, giving Bryan a :35 TKO victory over Instigator's Zack Sutek.

Reggie Parks (170) gained his unanimous decision victory via an extremely well thought out game plan, and exectued to perfection over previously unbeaten Travis Soto of Vander Fighting Systems.

Donny Walker moved into the finals of the pro-series featherweight tournament by defeating Dustin Kempf, in what all in attendance agree is a fight of the year candidate. NAAFS President, Greg Kalikas proclaimed, "That's the best fight I've ever seen in person." Donny secured the wild, back and forth war with a referee stoppage at 4:55 of the second round.

Not only did all three men come away victorious, they looked excellent in their performances as well. Team Griffonrawl showed great sportsmanship throughout the night, in and out of the cage.
