MOULTRIE —
The Colquitt County wrestling team won three of its five matches in the Lee County Duals last Saturday in Leesburg to take a fourth-place finish.
The Packersa will head to Cairo today to meet the Syrupmakers.
Colquitt dropped its opener 51-27 to Hardaway, which finished as the tournament’s runner-up.
Jorge Martinez at 132, Javier Martinez at 195, Miguel Carranza at 113 and Jordan Rosales at 120 won by pins and Anderson Glenn took a 3-1 decision at 138 against the Hawks.
The Packers then defeated Americus-Sumter County 54-12.
In addition to a number of forfeits, the Packers got pins from Glenn at 138, Hart Sumner at 152 and and Jacob Comer at 160.
The Packers won next over the Lee County B-team.
Glenn took a 9-2 decision at 145; Sumner got a pin at 152; Comer won by pin at 160; Javier Martinez got a pin at 220; Rosales won by pin at 120; Deandre McMillian won by pin at 126; and Jorge Martinez won by pin at 138.
In a 48-12 victory over Dougherty, the Packers got a pin by Javier Martinez at 220 plus a number of forfeits.
Colquitt lost its final match, falling to Lee County, which took third in its own tournament.
Javier Martinez won by 13-5 major decision at 195; Carranza won by pin at 113; and Glenn won an 8-5 decision at 138.
“Americus and Dougherty had very few wrestlers and there were a lot of forfeits,” Packers coach Travis Torbert said. “We also got to wrestle some of our backups — Alex Henry, Tyson McCray, Emirin Barrera and Hunter Dauphin — in extra matches and they did well and got good experience.”
