This past week end the wrestling team participated in the GHSA Sectional Tournament in Brunswick, Georgia. This was a great opportunity for each boy as they wrestled boys from different parts of the state that also qualified for this in their Area Tournament. We did not have the results we were hoping for but we did learn that we can compete with other programs throughout the state. It has been a great season for the wrestling team and each wrestler has placed in multiple tournaments over the season. As you can see in the picture when there are no more weigh ins for the season the first thing the boys want to do is eat all they can.

The wrestling team participated in the Archer JV invitational this past Friday, January 21.
