Jefferson’s victory in the 4A traditional state championship at the Centreplex in Macon accounted for the Dragons’ 42nd overall wrestling championship and its 22nd traditional championship.
The Dragons entered Friday with eight wrestlers trying for individual state championships and three -- Chaz McDonald (106 pounds), David Dollar (113), Luke Cochran (170) -- won their title bouts. Jefferson (265 points) finished ahead of North Oconee (177), Flowery Branch (150) and West Laurens (117.5).
Buford won back-to-back Class 5A traditional wrestling championships in 2017 and 2018 and after reclassifying to 6A this season, the Wolves have staked their claim to a new classification. One Buford wrestler -- 106-pound Ryan Ibold -- won his title bout with Tyler Henley placing third in the 126-pound bracket and Nick Cambria taking runner-up in the 132-pound bracket.
