If you have

been following the high school wrestling season, this is a big weekend

for you. Starting tonight at 5 p.m. and continuing tomorrow, the area

meets will be held all over the state and the top four wrestlers from

each weight class in the meets will advance to the state meet.

The gym at

Fayette County High School will be the site of the 4-AAAAA area meet.

Sixteen schools will be competing, including East Coweta, Fayette County,

McIntosh and Starr's Mill.

Starr's Mill,

currently ranked second, won the area and state championships last year

and is a strong contender for a title this year as well. There will be

a lot of competition in both meets this year, including the teams from

Troup County, Stockbridge, and Eagle's Landing.

The 4-AAAA

meet will be held at Sandy Creek High School tomorrow beginning at 9 a.m.

and will feature teams from Woodward Academy, Creekside, Heritage and

Sandy Creek High School. The competition will be fierce and each match

will be of the greatest importance as the wrestlers battle for a state

meet bid.

Landmark Christian

is the top-ranked wrestling program in Class A and will be competing in

their area meet this weekend as well. The meet will be held at Bremen

High School. Some of their local wrestlers include Jeremy Brown and Adam

Lewis of Sharpsburg, Ethan Everett of Newnan, Eric Sumner of Peachtree

City and Daniel Solly and Nick Taussig of Fayetteville. Northgate High

School's wrestling team is ranked seventh in Class AA and will compete

in the 5-AA area meet at Callaway this weekend.
