Gordon Lee wins NGAC Duals

For the first time since they won their second of two consecutive titles in 2016, the Gordon Lee Middle School Trojans are the dual meet wrestling champions of the North Georgia Athletic Conference.

The Navy-and-White went 3-0 in the conference tournament Saturday at LFO High School, defeating Rossville in the first round, Saddle Ridge in the semifinals and Trion in the finals.

Brown (86), Carson Alexander (94), Jenz Martin (100) and Waters (108) picked up victories in addition to eight consecutive wins by Kaden Ellis (123), Curd (130), Voiles (140), Vaughn (150), Mason Doughtery (165), Stoker (180), Lockhart (220) and Moore (HWT).

The championship finals would begin at 130 pounds with Curd getting the opening points for the Trojans. That would be followed up by victories from Voiles (140), Vaughn (150), Doughtery (165), Stoker (180) and Moore (HWT) as Gordon Lee opened up a 31-6 lead after the first seven bouts.

The Bulldogs rallied in the lower weights, but victories by Brown (86) and Alexander (100) gave the Trojans enough of a cushion before Ellis (123) capped the championship with a final victory.

The scene will now shift to Saddle Ridge Middle School this week for the seasonending NGAC traditional tournament.

Gordon Lee will be looking to dethrone Trion and sweep the NGAC wrestling championships for the first time in five years.
