More than 40 local wrestlers qualify for state tournament
The four Bartow County wrestling teams will send more than 40 wrestlers to the GHSA state tournament next week at the Macon Centreplex after impressive performances this weekend. In Class AAAAA, Woodland — who won a third straight state duals championship last week — is set to possibly take a third -straight traditional format state title as well after qualifying wrestlers in all 14 weight classes. The Wildcats had six individual region champions Saturday and captured the region team title at Cass. The Colonels finished with five Region 7-AAAAA individual champions. Cass added three runners-up and a third place finish to qualify nine wrestlers for next weekend’s state tournament. Cartersville did not have an individual region champion, but will send seven wrestlers to the state tournament. The Canes finished third in Saturday’s region tournament behind Woodland and Cass.
Adairsville competed Friday in the Area 4-AAA tournament at Rockmart. The Tigers had 13 individuals to earn top-three spots and qualify for next week’s state tournament in Macon. The Class AAA state tournament will be at the Macon Centreplex next Wednesday and Thursday. The Class AAAAA tournament will also be at the Macon Centreplex, but will be conducted Friday and Saturday.
Area 4-AAA at Rockmart Team Scores: Rockmart 211, Adairsville 181, Greater Atlanta Christian 99, Westminster 92, Cedar Grove 16, and Redan 7
