Saturday, January 26
After 31 successful seasons, Lassiter High School wrestling Coach Steve Day led his final home meet earlier this week. The Trojan wrestling team sent Day out with a tight victory over Centennial, winning 37-36 in a dual meet. Day leaves quite a legacy, having seen more than 350 dual wins, five region titles, 13 individual state champions and over 75 state-placers. Day was profiled by The Marietta Daily Journal earlier in January when he announced his retirement due to health reasons. He will continue to teach at Lassiter. The Trojans will participate in the final stretch of the Georgia high school traditional wrestling schedule, starting with the Region 5-AAAAAA championships next weekend at Wheeler.

The wrestling season isn't over yet for the Pope High School Greyhounds. There's still the Cobb County Championships coming up next week, as well as the state traditional wrestling meet. But Pope's dominance is beyond question after Saturday's 50-14 rout over Woodland of Bartow in the Class AAAAA duals finals in Macon. The Greyhounds, who are now 32-3 and remain the only Georgia school in the national prep rankings, took to the mats without their star, Brooks Climmons, who was away due to a death in the family. Pope overcame a slow start to win 11 matches, dropping only three. Coach Jim Haskin, in his 18th season, now has four state titles to his credit, including state traditional titles in 2011 and 2012. He tells Score Atlanta how the …
