Raiders Come Back To Claim Third At State

DULUTH �€“- The West Laurens wrestling team finished third in the Class AAA traditional tournament Saturday. Dublin had one wrestler win a state title and two others place, and a wrestler from East Laurens earned a medal for his accomplishments. The four-day tournament was held at the Gwinnett Center. West Laurens took third with 134.50 points, behind Lafayette (192) and Gilmer (197).

West Laurens took third with 134.50 points, behind Lafayette (192) and Gilmer (197). �€œWe wrestled good in the last round,�€ said West Laurens head coach Ed Bland.�€ We didn�€™t do so great the round before. I think we only had two rounds then. But Gilmer was a little too strong for us. We were fifth last year. It was pretty good to be able to beat West Forsyth this time. We lost to them at state duals and they went on to be runners-up.�€

The Raiders didn�€™t have anyone win a state title in their weight class, but they did have two make it to the finals. Johnny B. Smith (160pounds) and Chris Coney (189) took second. Bryce Carr (103) finished third, Jacob Robinson (135) was fourth and Juan Rozier (140) took fifth. �€œWe�€™re getting better but we�€™re still very young,�€ Bland said. The Raiders will be losing Rozier, Smith, Ellis, Tab Jones and Jon Henderson to graduation.
