The The Toombs County High School wrestling team were looking to get some valuable mat time before the Thanksgiving break when they traveled to Coffee County. Coffee County hosted the Southern Trojan War event for varsity, junior varsity, and girls. The MatDawgs were able to come away with four top 3 placements at the event in the varsity level and three top 3 placements in the girls division. Toombs also had their JV at the event with eight wrestlers finishing in the top three.

The varsity were matched up with some of the best competition from South Georgia. “Some of the best teams in South Georgia were at this event. This is exactly why we attended the event,” said Coach Allen. The event had top contenders in the state in all divisions including Camden County, Glynn Academy, Brunswick, Lee County, Valdosta, Coffee County, and multiple others.
