WRESTLING STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS
By Craig Sager II
 

Traditional championships return to Gwinnett


The 2016 GHSA Traditional State Wrestling Championships return to the Infinite Energy Arena (formerly Arena at Gwinnett Center) Thursday-Saturday to crown this year's team champions as well as 84 individual state champions across Georgia's six classifications.
 
In Class AAAAAA, Gwinnett County's Archer looks to complete the program's fourth consecutive season sweep. The Tigers qualified 11 wrestlers for state and four of the five individual state champions are back. Quinn Miller is set to defend his 220-pound title, while state champions Daniel Bullard (182), Thomas Bullard (170) and Chris Diaz (145) each moved up a weight class. The 152-pound bracket will be a weight class to watch this weekend now that Pope's three-time individual state champion Jake Adcock is wrestling for Army.
RETURNING STARS...
Camden County edged Woodland-Bartow 213.5-127.0 for last year's Class AAAAA title, which was the school's first traditional crown. Since, Camden County has continued its dominance, including a 257-26 scoring advantage during its run to a second straight dual state championship last month. The Wildcats qualified wrestlers in all 14 weight classes last year, but Jay Sheppard (138) was Camden County's only individual champion. Second-place finishes by Lucas Nelson (106), Bryce Crew (120), Adrian Hughes (126), Denton Spencer (132), Domonique Hargrave (182) and Aaron Galegor (195) accounted for 127 of Camden County's 213.5 points. Out of the six second-place finishers from last year, all but Galegor returns to state, and the Wildcats have once again filled all 14 weight classes. Nelson jumped to the 113-pound class, Crew classed up to 120, Hughes comes in at 145, Spencer bulked to 138 and Hargrave remains at 182. 
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED...
Like Archer, Class AAAA's Gilmer completed its third-straight sweep of titles at last year's traditional meet. Lucas Patterson (132), Jamie Lopez (152), Matthew Waddell (170) and Levi Seabolt (285) gave Gilmer four first-place finishers as the Bobcats tallied 220.5 points and held off second-place Marist (147.5). Patterson (132), Waddell (170) and Seabolt return as three of the Bobcats' dozen state qualifiers. Gilmer's Trevor Preece comes in at 126 pounds after a second-place finish at 113 last year. Gilmer added the program's seventh straight dual title last month with a 45-21 decision over Buford in the AAAA finals. The Bobcats' closest test came in the quarterfinals, where they held off North Hall 40-30.
Buford with 11 and North Hall with 10, will have enough wrestlers to challenge the Bobcats for the title. Gilmer, Buford and North Hall will each have wrestlers in the first three weight classes, which could build momentum early. Buford's Trent Ferguson returns as reigning 138-pound champion.
Newly-reclassified Jefferson won the Class AAA state title for the first time last year, but that came by little surprise as the Dragons made their annual return to the podium to collect the program's 15th consecutive traditional state championship and 19th all-time traditional title. Jefferson also remains unbeaten in state meet action since the inception of the state duals in 2002 and brought home the program's 15th straight title this season. At last year's traditional meet, the Dragons crowned six individual champions and had 11 wrestlers finish in the top 6. Dawson Bates (106), Mitchell McGhee (113) and Ben Kelly (120) conquered the first three weight classes before teammates Tanner Thurmond (132), Chase Piperato (145) and Caleb Little (182) added first-place finishes. Jefferson nearly doubled second-place Lumpkin County (125.0) with a total 240.5 points. Bates (113), McGhee (120), Thurmond (132) and Little (182) return as reigning champs, while newcomers like freshman Ian Statia (106) headline Jefferson's 13 wrestlers competing this weekend.  
After winning a wrestling state title for the first time in school history at the dual state championships last year, Social Circle held off Bremen 215.0 to 160.5 to capture the Class AA traditional title and complete its first-ever sweep of state titles. The Redskins defended their dual state title last month with a 38-25 win over the two-time runner-up Blue Devils.
The 16-wrestler brackets of Class AAA-AAAAAA shrink to fields of eight wrestlers in Class A-AA, which will favor Social Circle as the Redskins look to sweep titles for a second consecutive year with wrestlers occupying 12 of the 14 weight classes. Championship experience should prove to be invaluable as Social Circle returns with its most talented lineup to date. Cade Lackey was the only individual champion returning from the Social Circle's third-place finish at state in 2014 and Bremen's Joseph Stroud for first-place in the 152-pound finals edged him a year ago. Lackey's runner-up finish accounted for 16 points and Social Circle stockpiled first-place finishes at 132 pounds (James Corasaniti), 138 (Reid Harris), 160 (Cameron Paschal) and 195 (David Endstrom). Lackey aims for the 170-pound title this year and reigning champs Corasaniti (138), Harris (145), Paschal (160) and Endstrom (195) are all back to lead the Redskins.
Social Circle's Levi Leach fell to Gordon Lee's Jonathan Ragsdale in last year's 120-pound title match, but this year's 120-pound bracket will be wide open. Leach qualified at 126 pounds this year and Ragsdale has graduated after completing his perfect 58-0 season and becoming the 30th four-time individual state champion in Georgia history.
Defending Class A champion Commerce dominated last year's field with 283 points as the Tigers more than tripled second-place Turner County (90.0) and third-place Treutlen (83.5) for the state title. A Commerce wrestler finished in the top four of every weight class and a school-record eight wrestlers were crowned individual champions. Casey Burchett (106), Jacob Brewer (113), Dalton Flint (120), Austin Brock (126), Mitchell Patton (132) and Owen Brown (138) won state titles in the first six weight classes and Cole Chauncey took the 170-pound title before Derek Benoit capped off the Tigers' historic weekend with a 4-3 decision over Brandon Carswell (Montgomery County) in the 285 pound final. Commerce qualified wrestlers in all 14 weight classes and will have five of the returning defending individual champions leading the way.
