The Banks County High School Wrestling program hosted it first ever tournament on Saturday November 19 in the high school gym. Named the D. Marlow Duals, the event featured a tournament hosting area high schools to compete on four mats.

"We, as a staff, want to thank Dennis and Debbie Marlow for the work they put in years ago that afforded us the opportunity we have today," said head wrestling Coach Kasey Hanley.

Banks County faced East Hall in round one of the tournament and came out on top 59-18. Round two saw the Leopards against East Jackson and BCHS came out with another victory 70-12. The third round was against Elbert and the Leopards were the winners in that contest which put the Leopards in the finals.

Undefeated on the day (4-0) in weight class 126 - Mason Patton,152 - Wes Faulkner, 160 - Hayden Dilbeck, 182 - Matthew Dilbeck, 195 - Joseph Denton. Going 3-1 were 106 - Taylor Wood, 132 - Francisco Hurtado, 138 - Cody Beezley, 170 - Eli Smallwood. Other wrestlers in the BCHS line up are 113 - Bobby Nguyen, 120 - Sean Hester, 145 - Tyler Beezley, 285 - Blake Reynolds and 285 - Jared Slaton.

BCHS would face Greater Atlanta Christian in the finals which would turn out to be a rematch of the state tournament from last year. GAC beat the Leopards to finish third in the state last year.

GAC held on to a lead and finished two matches ahead of the Leopards in the finals of the D. Marlow Duals.

"Our guys wrestled hard, but we just weren't as aggressive as we should have been. We have a long way to go in order to be in the position that we want to be when January (State Duals) comes around.,” said Hanley.
