WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIPS RECAP

By Seth Ellerbee

The biggest storyline of GHSA Traditional Wrestling State Championships Saturday was the dethroning of Jefferson as its streak of traditional state championships came to an end after 18 seasons.

Sonoraville took the Class AAA title with 172 points followed by North Hall (168.5 points) and Jefferson (165.5 points).

Since 2001, the Dragons ruled each classification they have been in while winning championships in Class A (2001-2008), Class AA (2009-2014), Class AAA (2015-2016) and Class AAAA (2017-2018).

This year, after reclassifying back to Class AAA, Jefferson faced its toughest test in almost two decades as it trailed at the end of Friday’s matches. Jefferson entered finals Saturday with 153.5 points, behind Sonoraville (164 points) and North Hall (156.5 points). Despite getting individual state championships from Mason Mingus (106 pounds), Ryan Hurd (160 pounds) and Gavin London (285 pounds) the Dragons could not overtake Sonoraville as it successfully defended its Class AAA title, the second for the Phoenix. Sonoraville got individual titles from Trevor Burdick (145 pounds) and John Knight (195 pounds).

In another historic moment, girls were awarded individual wrestling state championships for the first time in the history of the GHSA. The first-ever title went to Gilmer’s Candalaria Velasquez, who earned her state championship in the 95-pound bracket with a victory over Hiram’s Alana Washington by fall at 1:24.

“It is amazing,” Velasquez said. “The coaches told us to always have faith and never quit and that’s what I did out there, I never quit. It’s just a sport but all girls can complete their dream. It’s something big and it’s always a great thing to complete something.”

Last year Statesboro’s Kasey Baynon made history placing fifth in the boys Class AAAAA 106-pound bracket, a memory that was not lost on North Gwinnett wrestler Dianna Holmes after she took home the 106-pound state title with a victory over Stephens County wrestler Athena Malek by fall at 2:47.

“Me and Kasey have been friends for forever and I was really excited for her and happy for her,” Holmes said. “It was good to see that the girls can do it too. There is a spot for us. I’m not 100 percent sure what this will mean to me later but we are starting to involve more girls and trying to get more and more involved in building and growing it.”

Nick Krug, Camden County’s 126-pound state champion, weighed in on the addition of a girls bracket following his victory over Collins Hill wrestler Clint Gilbert.

“It’s pretty amazing that, before, it was hard for girls to compete with the other guys in this sport,” Krug explained. “But not they can be champions together and its an amazing thing. It shows that its growing and wrestling is growing in America.”

In the boy’s tournament, Camden County won its fifth-straight state championship in commanding fashion. The Wildcats won titles in 2015-16 in AAAAAA and 2017-19 in AAAAAAA. Camden got individual titles from Nathan Orum (113), Krug (126), Raylan Wilder (152) and Myles Starke (195).

“It’s just the collection of the hard work we do in the room,” Krug said. “It’s just how good our coaches are and how much they push us to be great and the results are in the individual tournament are from that. We all push each other to be better and be the best we can.”

Valdosta’s Noah Pettigrew took the 195-pound title to help lead the Wildcats to the Class AAAAAA team championship. Demetrius Allen finished runner up in the 285-pound bracket, Scott Antione finished fourth in the 182-pound bracket, Dominique Dale finished third in the 170-pound bracket, Aushand Evan finished fifth in the 138-pound bracket, Lamon Tyler placed fourth in the 126-pound bracket, Jordan Hampton placed third in the 120-pound bracket and Darrell Rochester was runner up in the 106-pound bracket.

Woodland-Cartersville won the Class AAAAA title with 208.5 points ahead of Buford (186.5 points). Kyle Gollhofer (120 pounds), Caden McCrary (132 pounds) and Jaxon Smith (145 pounds) won individual titles for Woodland.

Woodward Academy got individual titles from Nick Masters (126 pounds), Michael Kilic (132 pounds), Matthew Singleton (138 pounds), McCoy Pace (145 pounds) and Malcolm Wiley on the way to its AAAA crown.

In Class AA, Social Circle took first place with 150.5 points ahead of Elbert County (122.5 points). Mitchell Thompson (160 pounds) and Josh Engstrom (170 pounds) won individual titles for Social Circle.

Commerce won the Class A title with 193 points, besting Darlington’s 161.5 points. Tucker Flint (152 pounds) and Elijah Burns (195 pounds) won individual titles for Commerce.
