The 2016 State Dual Wrestling Championships return to the Macon Centreplex for three days of action as 80 schools get set to battle for Georgia’s six state crowns. All six defending champs return and four of the reigning champions will look to continue title runs dating as far back as Jefferson’s unprecedented 14 straight titles, which began all the way back in the inaugural year of the dual championships in 2002.
Despite a field of proven programs, the headliner of championship weekend resides in Class AAAAAA with Archer. With its 59-21 victory over Brookwood in the Area 8-AAAAAA duals championship last weekend, Archer extended its dual winning streak to 92 matches, which dates back to January 2012.
Now, the Tigers’ run to a fourth straight duals championship begins with Alcovy in the first round and will likely await the winner of Kennesaw Mountain and seven-time dual state champion Collins Hill in the second round. Brookwood, which earned runner-up in the Area 8 duals to Archer, awaits a first round match with North Forsyth.
