With the Chelsea Hornets, Oak Mountain Eagles, Spain Park Jaguars and Thompson Warriors hitting the track at Hewitt-Trussville High School on April 26-27, multiple athletes from the area rose to the top of Class 7A, Section 2 to reach the state championship.
With spots in the state championship on the line, wrestlers from Spain Park, Thompson, Oak Mountain and Chelsea stepped up to the challenge and punched their tickets to Huntsville at the north sectional championship from Feb. 10-11 at Bill Harris Arena.
As the Spain Park Jaguars led 31-19 with 4:40 left in the third quarter, the Chelsea Hornets were left searching for answers going into an extended delay for an injured official.
The Spain Park Jaguars have played in many big games in past years. When they did it again on Tuesday, Jan. 23, they played like they had been there before, claiming the Class 7A, Area 6 regular season title for the first time since 2015.
