See Page B3 Wrestlers place in road competitions
Local wrestling t eams are on the road this weekend hoping to get some of their grapplers in position to move on to the state level with area tournaments coming up on Saturday.
Rockmart and Cedartown were both on the road for tournaments this past weekend with the Jackets taking part in the Darlington Classic, while Cedartown took part in the Bowdon Invitational.
With only three weeks left in the season, 17 teams — including those from all four Floyd County Schools as well as Rockmart — got together at the Classic to get in one last tune-up before the traditional area tournaments next weekend.
Rockmart finished 8th overall in the tournament over the weekend that the host won, with a win in the 106 pound weight division, Truett Bowman making it deep into the 132- pound weight class, and a second place finish in the 152 pound weight class for Zoryan Hendricks, who fell in a final bout with Darlington’s Rhett McDurmon.
Cedartown meanwhile saw several of the Bulldog wrestlers place during their trip south last Saturday to Carroll County.
At last Saturday’s Bowdon Invitational, in the 120-weight class Tanner Mason took home a fifth-place finish, Jesse Kirkpatrick grabbed a fourth place in the 132-pound weight class, and fourth place went to Chris Davis in the 138-pound weight class.
Addition placements went to Roy Tracy, who took fourth in the 145 pound division, sixth for Alan Davis in 160 pound divison, and fifth for Levi Laffitte in the 220 pound weight class.
