Last weekend, state overall No. 1 Collins Hill sent its No. 1 varsity team to The Clash in Minnesota, a tournament featuring some of the nation’s top teams (the Eagles finished 4-2 on the weekend). As a result, the Gwinnett County tournament was wide open. Parkview took advantage of Collins Hill’s absence, taking first place in the event to win its 12th county title. Brookwood and Peachtree Ridge tied for second place, and Collins Hill’s No. 2 team took sixth. … Class A Jefferson is one of the state’s longstanding wrestling powerhouses (the team has won both the dual and traditional titles every year from 2001), and the Dragons reasserted themselves as such last weekend. The team, ranked No. 1 in the state’s lowest classification, took first place at the Hooch Invitational (hosted by Chattahoochee) over a number of state-ranked teams. … Area qualifying tournaments will take place this Friday and Saturday for the state duals tournament, held Jan. 15-16 at the Macon Centreplex.
