Ravenwood’s Grant Jones, bottom, wrestles with Bradley Central’s Brad Colbaught during the State Dual Wrestling Championships at Williamson County Ag Expo Center in Franklin, Tenn., Saturday, Feb. 5, 2011. (JAE S. LEE / THE TENNESSEAN)FRANKLIN, Tenn. — The Class AAA state duals wrestling championship was a reversal of fortunes.
For 16 days — since his Bears lost a 70-match duals win streak and a 17-year home streak against Soddy-Daisy — Bradley Central coach Steve Logsdon had worn on his wrestling team. He rubbed it in.
The Bears responded with a vengeance against the Trojans late Saturday, winning with an exclamation point — 44-15 — for their fourth straight state duals title.
The Chattanooga area wound up with another tournament sweep. Baylor took the Division II championship by edging Christian Brothers 27-25, and Central captured the A/AA crown by beating Pigeon Forge 30-26.
Soddy-Daisy coach Steve Henry’s pre-finals response to the “Who’s going to win?” query was that it could be a toss-up.
