FRANKLIN, Tenn. – That black bear paw pennant is back atop the flagstaff.

Returning to Tennessee’s wrestling duals winner’s circle for the first time since 2011, Bradley Central topped Region 4 rival Soddy-Daisy in the TSSAA Class AAA finals Saturday night.

And Red Bank overcame all odds to secure its first duals title with a 30-28 Class A/AA victory over defending champion Pigeon Forge. Baylor, meanwhile, fell 36-21 to Father Ryan in the Division II bracket.

Red Bank hadn’t been to the duals in 16 seasons and the Lions’ best previous finish was second place in 1995 – to Bradley Central when there were only two divisions, Large and Small.

Appearing in their 18th duals championship, the Bears secured their 11th duals crown by beating the Trojans 52-21. It was the eighth time Bradley has met a region opponent and the sixth time it has wrestled Soddy-Daisy for the AAA championship. Bradley now leads that particular series 4-2.
