Prep Round Up - ABH
CLASS A: With three state champions, Commerce tallied 159 points and won its seventh consecutive traditional state crown, a prospect that a few days appeared questionable since only nine Tigers qualified for the state meet, compared to the 12 qualified by Trion (second place, 157.5 points), Mt. Pisgah Christian (third place, 122 points) and Holy Innocents’.
State champions included Dawson Legg (113 pounds), who pinned Art Martinez of Holy Innocents’, Jake Frates (182 pounds), who scored a major decision (18-5) over Erik Dodder of Mount Vernon, and Elijah Burns (195 pounds), who pinned Cameo Blankenship of Telfair County.
