VHS Area Dual Champs

The Vidalia High School Indian Wrestling team posted a 4-0 record on Friday in the AA Area 2 Duals, giving them the title for the second straight year. Four Indians went 4-0 on the day, including Gabriel Hightower (126) and Tommy Walker (285), who each had four pins. Javarius Worthen (138) and Hunter Manning (160) completed the day with three pins each.

Myikel Johnson (106), Markeal Crawford (113), Jaylen Lane (132), Mason Galbreath (145), and Ronald Pointer continued from page

all finished the tournament with a 3-1 record.

“The kids earned this one,” said Indian Head Coach Bobby Blount.' I told them that if we ever won one, I believed we had a chance to make a run, and they worked very hard, and now we are back-to-back Dual Champions, and I think it’s just going to get better from here.”

The Indians will now host the state prelims on Friday afternoon at the H. Ralph Parsons Gymnasium, beginning at 3:30. “It’s huge that we get to host the next round,” said Blount. “It not only saves us from having to be on the road and the expenses that are involved, but it also means the kids can sleep in their own beds. Plus you always like to compete in front of your home fans.”

The Indians will match up with Callaway in the first round on Friday and, with a win, will face the winner of Banks County and Columbia. The losers of the first-round matches will have a chance to wrestle into contention for the title, with the winner of Friday’s event advancing to the Elite 8 on January 22.

Tickets for Friday’s event will be $12 and may be purchased in advance through GoFan or may be bought at the gate with a debit or credit card. Only GHSA Passes will be accepted. Booster Passes will not be honored.
