Woodland, Cass advance to Class AAAAA semifinals
The top-seeded Woodland wrestling team and the Cass wrestling team both successfully navigated the first two rounds of the Class 5A State Duals Championship Thursday at the Macon Centreplex, but Cartersville was stopped in the second round of the Class 4A tournament by 2nd-seeded Woodward Academy. Woodland overwhelmed Arabia Mountain in the first round Thursday morning, 82-0, and took down Ware County in the quarterfinals 70-6 Thursday night. Cass dispatched Southwest DeKalb 49-28 in the opener and the 6th-seeded Colonels knocked off 3rd-seeded Locust Grove in the quarterfinals 31-27 Thursday night. In Class 4A, Cartersville beat Columbus 42-31 in the first round before falling to Woodward Academy 56-18 in the second round.

Cartersville will need two wins Friday and two more on Saturday to finish third. In Class 5A, Woodland and Cass have reached the winners’ bracket semifinals and have guaranteed themselves no worse than top six in state finishes. Woodland meets 4th-seeded Veterans and Cass takes the mat against 2nd-seeded Buford in the championship semifinals Friday night at 6 p.m. Friday night’s winners are in the state championship match Saturday at 3 p.m. Friday night’s semifinal losers will need two wins in the consolation bracket to finish third.
