North Forsyth had an impressive day on the wrestling mats despite falling short of its third straight area title. Chattahoochee (201 points) barely edged out the Raiders (200) for first place at the Area 6-AAAAAA traditional championships on Saturday at Raider Arena, but North qualified nine wrestlers for state sectionals, including four area champions. "I’m pleased with the way a lot of our kids wrestled today, but I would’ve liked for that number to have been a little bit higher," North head coach Travis Jarrard said.
