MACON, Ga. – This wrestling season hadn’t been an especially memorable one for Ethan Roher.
Until Saturday, that is.
The Ringgold High School sophomore 113-pounder recorded the biggest pin of his young life to lift the Tigers past Lumpkin County, 32-29, for third place in Class AAA competition at the GHSA state duals championships.
Ringgold joins Trion as third-place finishers from northwest Georgia. The Bulldogs rallied from 20 points down to defeat Treutlen County 47-25 in Class A. Gilmer won its ninth state duals title with a 45-21 win over Buford in Class AAAA.
Like Trion, Ringgold came from behind to take third. Five consecutive Lumpkin wins beginning at 160 pounds left the Tigers in a 29-15 hole with just three bouts left in the match that started at 120 pounds.
