The dual and traditional high school state wrestling titles were swept in each classification for consecutive years Saturday at the Infinite Energy Arena in Gwinnett. Class AAAAAA Archer, Class AAAAA Camden County, Class AAAA Gilmer, Class AAA Jefferson, Class AA Social Circle and Class A Commerce successfully defended their traditional titles while crowning a combined 35 of the 84 individual state champions across the 14 weight classes and six classifications.
Commerce secured the program’s third consecutive Class A traditional title in record-setting style. After dominating last year’s field with 283 points and placing a wrestler in the top four of every weight class with a school-record eight individual champions, the Tigers accumulated a massive 322-point total. All 14 wrestlers advanced to the finals and the team crowned 11 individual state champions. Tucker Flint (106), Kole Burchett (113), Jacob Brewer (120), Dylan Deaton (126), Dalton Flint (132), Owen Brown (145), Nick Patrick (152), Chase Forrester (160), Knox Allen (170) Cole Chancey (182) and Michael Patton (220) each took home titles, while teammates Austin Brock placed second behind Landmark Christian’s Colin Greer (138), Dontavious Mosley fell to Treutlen’s Cody Calhoun in the 195-pound final and sophomore Cade Ridley finished second behind Mt. Zion’s Chandler Butler at 285.
In Class AAAAAA, Archer’s 172.5 total held off second-place North Forsyth (106) and third-place Mountain View (94) to bring home the program’s fourth straight sweep of dual and traditional titles. Brothers and Archer standouts Thomas Bullard (170) Daniel Bullard (182) capped off their perfect seasons and became the 31st and 32nd four-time individual state champions in Georgia state history. Chris Diaz took home the 145-pound title after winning gold at 132 pounds a year ago.
Class AAAAA Camden County successfully defended its first traditional state title with 268.5 points as Woodland-Bartow finished second with 187.0. Raydan Wilder (120), Bunmi Smith (160), Antonio Stewart (170), Dominique Hargrave (182) and Gabe Smith (285) gave the Wildcats five individual champions. Woodland-Bartow crowned three individual champions, including Kyle Golhoffer (106), Logan Sims (132) and Cody Cochran (152).
Class AAAA Gilmer (152.5) edged North Hall (141.0) and Buford (124.5) for the program’s fourth-straight traditional title. Lucas Patterson (132), Matthew Waddell (182) and Levi Seabolt (285) repeated as individual champions and senior Albert Perez scored a 5-4 decision over Madison County’s Cody Bond for the 120-pound title.
In Class AAA, Jefferson won the program’s 16th straight traditional title and 20th all-time, outscoring second-place Ringgold 273-119. The Dragons crowned six individual champions. Murray County’s Marcelino Lopez joined the Indians for his senior year after spending three seasons as a former champion with Class AAAA Gilmer. Lopez won the 113-pound individual Class AAAA title in 2014 over Heritage-Catoosa’s Charles Thurman. The next year, however, Thurman beat Lopez in the 120-pound final. This time, both former champions brought home titles as Lopez took home the 126-pound title in Class AAA and Thurman clinched Class AAAA’s 126-pound title.
Social Circle (235) edged second-place Bremen (184) to claim the program’s second traditional title at Class AA. Levi Leach (126), Travis Tyson (132), James Corasaniti (138), Reid Harris (145), Cameron Paschal (182) and David Engstrom (195) won individual titles for the Redskins.
