MACON Commerce could not overcome a slim deficit on Wednesday and finished third in the 2021 Georgia High School Association Class A Traditional wrestling championships at the Macon Centreplex.
The Tigers trailed by just 9 points heading into the finals but Day 1 leader Mt. Pisgah pulled away to capture the title with 256 points. Commerce finished with 202.5 points while defending champion Trion rallied to take second with 205.
Mt. Pisgah s title win snapped Commerce s seven-year run as Class A Traditional state champions, which had been the longest current streak by any team in any sport in the GHSA.
In the Class 2A meet, Banks County finished fourth with 148 points. Fannin County won its first-ever state title with 186 points, jumping over Day 1 leader Lovett late.
WHEATFIELD — If all goes as planned, Kankakee Valley will get another crack at Knox for a sectional title next week, this time on the Kougars’ home floor.
