GL Area Champs

The Gordon Lee Trojans had three champions, six runners-up and will send 10 wrestlers to the state sectional tournament next weekend at Social Circle High School.

The Gordon Lee Trojans asserted themselves as contenders for a possible Class A state wrestling title after winning the ultra-tough Area 7-A tournament at Coosa on Saturday.

In a field that included some of the top teams in the classification, Gordon Lee put up 253 points to hold off Trion (246) for the area crown. Dade County (173) was third, followed by Gordon Central (168.5), while Armuchee and Chattooga tied for fifth (135.5) in the 12-team field.
