Two emerging programs – Mount Pisgah in Class 1A and Fannin County in Class 2A – staked claim to state championships in the second day of the GHSA Traditional Wrestling State Championships at the Macon Centreplex.
Fannin County entered championship Wednesday in second place and trailing Lovett 146.5 to 136. But the Rebels rallied with a state championship from Blake Summers (106), a second-place finish from Corbin Davenport (152) and third place finishes from Kianan Henson (120) and McCay Turner (160) to capture the program’s first title.
Before the team duals earlier this season, Mount Pisgah had never won a wrestling state championship. Now – after a 256-point performance in the Class 1A traditional wrestling state championships – Pisgah is a champion again. The Patriots had four of five wrestlers in title bouts win state championships – Josh Noble (113 pounds), Tyler Nelson (132), Joey Bertrand (152) and David Bertrand (170).
