Pro wrestling returns to Braselton with a big card Saturday night
Pro wrestling is returning to Braselton for the first time in nearly three decades, and the wrestlers who will perform that night are eager to make the trip.
The event is set for Saturday at 6 p.m. at the Historic Braselton Gym. Hall-of-fame tag team the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express will serve as headliners while wrestlers from the Tennessee-based School of Morton will fill out the rest of the card.
“We’re so fired up about it,” said School of Morton owner James Strange. “It’s going to be awesome. We’re really, really pumped about it.”
The School of Morton bears the name of Ricky Morton, who is one half of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express. He and Robert Gibson rose to prominence in the 1980s as a tandem. The tag team was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2017. Morton instructs wrestlers at the School of Morton and still wrestles alongside Gibson about twice a month.
In fact, the Rock ‘N’ Roll Express recently took part in a large-scale event — the Crockett Cup — in late April.
“Ricky Morton can still wrestle like he’s in his prime,” Strange said. “They both do really good to be 60-year-old men.”
The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express’s opponents Saturday will be the Heavy Metal Express, a tag team made up of Luscious Lawrence and Maverick.
In the other major bout of the night, RT3 and J.C. Adams will wrestle against The Devastation Incorporation, which is made up of the Sultan and Joe Briggs. That match will be for the East Tennessee Tag Team title.
Strange said the event will likely include seven matches.
“It will be a big card,” Strange said.
This will be the School of Morton’s first trip to Georgia. The organization could return to Braselton in December.
“That’s the plan if this show goes well,” Strange said.
Local wrestling fans seeking more information about the lineup of wrestlers can visit the School of Morton Facebook page, the organization's website at rickymortononline.com or Ricky Morton’s Twitter account at @realrickymorton
The School of Morton’s matches are also available on YouTube. A School of Morton podcast is also available once a month.

Tiger Sharks' season begins Saturday in Habersham
Even though class has ended, the Commerce sports season is only beginning.
This Saturday, some of Commerce's best swimmers begin the summer season as part of the Commerce Tiger Sharks swim team. The season begins in Habersham.
"As always, our coaching staff is ready to get to work," coach Nick Moulton said. "There's a lot of instruction that has to be squeezed into a small window, that seems to get shorter every summer, and we spend a lot of time at the pool preparing the swimmers for meets."
Moulton said the team has several "veterans" returning. Many of them learned how to swim through the Tiger Sharks program.
"It's very rewarding watching them go through the stages of not being able to swim at all, to being completely immersed in the sport," Moulton said. "If you want to be competitive, you have to give whatever sport you're involved in all you have, that's especially true for swimming. These kids sacrifice their summers every year to be in the pool."
One of those returning is Emmanuel College commit Samantha Davidson.
"She's one that's been with us a long time, and it's rare to get a kid that's as committed as Sam," Moulton said. "It's been fun to watch her grow, and she's very inspiring to our younger generation of swimmers."
Meets throughout the season include two home meets June 11 and June 24, meets at Winder, Jefferson, Dacula and Habersham, the League Championships on July 5 (Francis Meadows) and July 6 (Habersham) and the state title meet July 19-20 at Fort Oglethorpe.

Sea Dragons eying titles this summer
The Jefferson Sea Dragon swimming program has its sights set on more individual state titles and perhaps a long-awaited team championship.
The season starts Saturday at the Splash meet in Habersham County.
Both Sofia Burns and Ansley Nunnally, who each won three state titles last year, return as Jefferson’s girls’ team seeks to win a championship after missing out on one by half a point last year.
“Both girls have moved into a new age group, but that does not deter them from bringing home more titles and state records,” coach Tess Nunnally said.
According to the coach, Ansley Nunnally has her sights set on breaking state records in the 50-yard butterfly and 50-yard backstroke.
Coach Nunnally said the girls’ team has depth at all age levels this year. The 12U age group in particular is loaded with swimmers from the middle school program team. Those athletes include Kate Dunagan, Aubree-Clare Flores, Ximena Young and Anna Beth Camden.
“These girls along with Ansley Nunnally have an opportunity to break some state records on relays this year,” coach Nunnally said.
On the boys’ side, the Sea Dragons anticipate depth in the 8U, 10U and 12U age groups with returning swimmers Justin Duke, Cayden Sheridan, Justin Kurgan and Parker Newell.
Others to watch for, according to coach Nunnally, from both the boys’ and girls’ squads are Kerrigan Vaughn (10U), Grace Richardson (14U), Katy Joy Bella (14U), Macie Patridge (18U), Christian Honeycutt (18U) and Tanner Brownell (18U).
Coach Nunnally pointed to the team’s goals this summer.
“As a team we look to once again win league championships, take as many as possible to state and hopefully have our girls win a team state title,” she said. “These goals are achievable, However, we do not have many girls or boys in our 15-and-over category which may hurt us. Yet, I still believe that this year could be the year to bring home our most state champions ever for both girls and boys. We have that much talent and potential among our swimmers.”
NOTE: This year’s coaching staff includes Nunnally (head coach), CJ Guzman, Sara McMullan, Kylie Novicki and Madyson Hailey.

Jackson Co. youth track team wins first league championship
Jackson County Parks and Recreation claimed its first-ever North Georgia Youth Track and Field Association championship last month.
In earning the league title, five Jackson County athletes ranked among the top-three point-earners in their age group: Jacob Combs (first, 12U), Daelin Randolph-Spry (second, 8U), Robert Randolph-Spry (third, 12U), Caleb Howell (tied for second, 15U) and Latravious Ransom (tied for second, 15U).
“We won by almost 200 points,” said coach Allen Spry, “so that was remarkable. It was another accomplishment for the Jackson County Parks and Recreation Department."
The event wrapped up on May 18 in Jackson County. The competition originally started on May 4 in Habersham County, but only a portion of the meet was completed due to rain, forcing the meet to be completed two weeks later at Jackson County.
The month also included a third-place finish from Jackson County at the state meet May 10-11 in Jefferson, highlighted by four state individual championships and two state-record performances.
Howell won the 14U javelin with a state record-throw of 112-0; the 4 x 100 relay team (Kaden Brock, Amari Bolton, Daelin Randolph-Spry and Myles Richardson) was victorious with a state record time of 1:03.22; Combs took the 12U title in the 800 meters; and Daelin Randolph-Spry won the 8U long jump with a distance of 11-9 (one inch off the state record).
Jackson County led the state meet until the final two events.
“As far as the state meet, again it just shows how far our track in rec has come in the last two years,” Spry said.
Spry noted that the Jackson County Parks and Rec now owns five state records.
“To be able to compete with your Peachtree, your Augusta and Camden County (programs) and all your big six-A, seven-A schools, for little three-A Jackson County to hold five (records) is remarkable,” he said.

Shooting range re-opens at Wilson Shoals with renovations
For nearly a year, the Wilson Shoals Wildlife Management Area has been without its shooting range.
After Monday morning, the range is officially back open. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources officially re-opened the Wilson Shoals shooting range with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The renovated range featured big changes. The new shooting range is 100 yards. There was also the addition of a new firing-line cover, a 25-yard pistol range with new firing-line cover, and a classroom and office area was also built for the on-site range-safety officers.
An estimated 20 people attended the ribbon-cutting including members from the Banks County Chamber of Commerce and newly-elected state representative Chris Erwin.
“Speaking on behalf of DNR, we just can’t wait to get this wonderful facility open,” DNR commissioner Mark Williams said. “The benefit it will provide to the Banks County community and beyond will be invaluable.”
Williams said in Georgia, shooting sports provide an estimated $478 million in economic activity. Georgia oversees archery, air rifle, pistol, rifle and shotgun ranges across the state.
Williams said the ranges focus on bringing “safe, high-quality target-shooting opportunities” for communities.
“We want to cultivate a lifelong love of shooting and foster a sense of conservation for generations to come,” Williams said.
The cost of the renovations to Wilson Shoals were funded in part by the Wildlife Restoration Program, which is a federal program funded by hunters and shooters through excise taxes on equipment. Money from the sale of hunting licenses also helped fund the project.
“I strongly encourage you to spend some time out on the range, as I believe you will be extremely pleased with the work we’ve done,” Williams continued. “Your long-standing commitment to shooting sports and outdoor recreation is ultimately the reason we do what we do.”
Leopoldo Miranda, regional director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said the work done to Wilson Shoals is an example that helps keep the “tradition” of hunting and shooting sports “well and alive.”
“That’s so critical,” he said, “to be able to connect our younger generations with that tradition. Not only to preserve it, but also, that’s how people and the children connect with nature, because then, when we take them out hunting, they start seeing nature, and they start caring for that nature.”
Erwin added: “Having this in Banks County, we are very proud of this, and knowing the Banks County people here, they’re very proud...the use of this and the tradition you talked about is so important to us here to have it. We need to publicize it. A lot of folks don’t ride down here and see what we have to use this facility to not only carry on that tradition, but also to get better, and then to carry on to their future children and family members. What a great facility, what a great idea.”
