Lyons, GA. – January 19, 2023 | Coach Todd Allen

The Toombs County Middle School MatDawgs took the mats this Tuesday as they hosted the Middle School All-Area Tournament. This tournament marks their final competition for the 2022-2023 season and they ended on top. In a year of growth for the middle school program, the Middle School MatDawgs finished 1st place in the All-Area Tournament. First year ahead Middle School Wrestling Coach, Wesley Bratton was satisfied with their progress, “These boys made a ton of progress throughout the year. I couldn’t be any more proud of the work they put in, as a whole, throughout the year.” The Middle School MatDawgs posted a total of 237.5 points in the tournament, which was enough to beat cross-town rival Vidalia’s 209 points. “It is great to see the hard-work these young wrestlers put in, pay off in the end. Looking back at where we were at the beginning of the year makes this Championship even more impressive.”

The MatDawgs end the season with a 10-5 dual record and cap off the season with an All-Area Tournament Championship. The future is bright for the MatDawgs as Coach Allen looks ahead to what will be heading up to his program in the future. “It is an exciting time to be a part of the Toombs County Wrestling program! With us heading to the State Dual Championships this weekend and seeing the young talent that wrestled tonight (January 17th), we will making many more runs to State! Coach Bratton has done a great job with these young MatDawgs to set a strong foundation for them as they transition to the high school. I’m very excited for our program’s future!”
