The Commerce grapplers made a good showing at the Traditional Area Tournament, missing the area championship by just a half a point.

Commerce finished with 238 points just behind Wesleyan with 238.5 points.

Last weekend the Mat Tigers qualified 11 wrestlers to go to the State Tournament this weekend at the Gwinnett Arena.

“Our guys wrestled hard,” said coach Kendall Love.

The 11 qualifiers to state include Area champions Doug Maloch (119 lbs.), Nick Arostegui (135 lbs.) and Thomas Sears (152 lbs.).

Second place finishers Casey Drinkard (130 lbs.) and Jon Cash (140 lbs.). Finishing in third at Area were Phillip Edwards (145 lbs.), Terrance Martin (160 lbs.) and Josh Streetman (189 lbs.).

Rounding out the state qualifiers are Area fourth place winners Addison Davis (112 lbs.), Tyler Austin (171 lbs.) and Andrew Minish (215 lbs.).

“Our guys did what they needed to do to get in some good spots,” Love said.

The Tigers will start at 11:15 a.m. on Friday in the first round of the State Tournament.

“We are going to go at it in practice and get everyone where they need to be and see what happens,” Love said.
