After a strong showing on the opening day at the GHSA state traditional tournament, Northwest Georgia wrestlers and teams in the Times Free Press coverage area had an up-and-down Thursday in Classes A and AAA as the first half of championship week was completed in Morrow.

The area, though, did have four individual champions — Gordon Lee’s Noah Brown, Chattooga’s Bryson Rutledge, Christian Heritage’s Harrison Murdock and Heritage’s Wyatt Womack — and three top-five teams.

Competition in Classes AA, AAAA and AAAAAA as well as in the all-classification girls’ bracket begins Friday and ends Saturday at the Clayton County Convocation Center, the same venue that hosted Classes A, AAA and AAAAA on Wednesday and Thursday.

Gordon Lee finished fourth in Class A with 97.5 points, with junior Brown winning his third individual title — this one at 120 pounds — Cooper Saine (106) and Layne Vaughn (190) winning multiple matches Thursday to take third, and Josh Murtaugh (285) getting a fourth-place medal.
