Courtesy of TCHS
The Toombs County High School wrestling team ended the dual portion of their season as they traveled to Jeff Davis High School to compete in the State Dual Championships. This was the first trip to the State Duals since 2020 and their best finish since 2019.
The MatDawgs started the day posting a 37-30 win over Model in the first round. The semi-final matchup was a rematch of last years prelim sectional finals against Fannin County where the MatDawgs dropped the match to move on. The MatDawgs lost again to Fannin County in a highly contested battle, 27-39.
“Our guys laid it on the line. We knew Fannin would be a dog fight and our guys had faith they could do it, but it wasn’t our day. I’m still proud of the fight we had!” said Coach Allen of the semi-final match.
Dropping to the backside of the bracket the MatDawgs bounced back quickly with a convincing win over Brantley County with a score of 59-24. The final matchup of the day to determine 3rd place was against Landmark Christian School. In another close dual the MatDawgs were able to outlast Landmark Christian, 43-27. The MatDawgs ended their dual season with a 13-6 Varsity dual record and as the 3rd best team in Georgia 2A schools.
“I’m extremely proud of our team. They’ve made significant progress in one year, and we thought we could do it. We went from not being here last year, to placing 3rd. It’s a real testament to the hard work all of these guys put in during the off-season,' said Coach Allen of the teams finish.
