Despite being without some members, the Jefferson Mat Dragons continued a strong early season last week with a win over Commerce and a second place in the Sawnee Duals in Forsyth County.

Up next for Jefferson is a trip to Suwanee for the Lamhut Invitational this weekend.

After a scheduling problem kept them from traveling to Northgate High School, the Mat Dragons instead traveled across the river to face Commerce last Tuesday, coming away with a 61-15 victory.

“They haven’t gotten all their kids in their weight classes, and neither one of us had our true line-ups,” said coach Doug Thurmond. “It was what it was. We just got a little mat time out there.”

Among those winning at Commerce were Kyle Stringer, Josh Harris, Cody Carlson, Issac Kelly, Daniel Barber, Clay Richardson, Forrest Przybysz, Lucas Redd, Zack Allen and Wayne Elliott.

Up next was a trip to Forsyth Central High School for the Sawnee Duals on Saturday.

The Mat Dragons wrestled in five dual matches and took second to Pope who is ranked number two in 5A.

Jefferson started out by beating Cale 62-18. They then defeated Walton 70-6. Up next was North Forsyth, who fell 54-11. Jefferson also defeated Cash 51-18.

But the Mat Dragons came up short in the tournament finals against Pope, who won 42-29.
