Saturday night concluded Day 3 of the Traditional Wrestling State Tournament and saw Class 7A, 3A, 2A and the Girls Division crown overall team state champions as well as individual state champions across each of the 14 weight classes. In Class 7A, Buford entered Saturday with a slight 199-to-184 guaranteed point total, but Camden County overcame it with a 233-to-219 title-clinching margin and secured the program’s ninth-straight championship sweep after clinching the duals last month. Bradley Patterson (106), Hunter Prosen (120), Ryder Wilder (175) were the three Wildcats that earned individual state championships and the program’s depth accumulated the critical tally to stave off the Wolves, who had two individual state champions. Mill Creek finished third and closed out a tremendous year for the program and celebrated four individual state titles on Saturday with Antonio Mills (113), Blue Stiffler (126), Amantee Mills (132) and Dominic Baminelli (165).

The Class 3A field entered Saturday with Pickens (103), Franklin County (97), Ringgold (97), Bremen (93) and defending state champion Gilmer (93)—who successfully outclassed to competition to capture the program’s 19th all-time wrestling state title. The Bobcats had five wrestlers record third place finishes or better and got valuable individual state titles from Juan Rafael (106) and Diego Jacinto (190).

In Class 2A, Rockmart completed the sweep after capturing the dual state title and tallied 244.5 points with six individual champions and eight top 3 finishes. The Girls Division saw Chestatee tally the most points with 82 and reigning duals champion Carrollton posted 52 points to tie Gilmer County’s 52. Chestatee’s Ashley Godinez (155) earned an individual state title and third-place Jackson County celebrated championships by Raven Cook (145) and Lilly Chavis (235).
