History Repeats Itself: Commerce & Jefferson add to dynasty with another state title

With the close of the GHSA Duals State Tournament Championship, some things remain the same

Commerce and Jefferson both won their individual classifications, while Lumpkin earned a top five finish Saturday.

COMMERCE

The Tigers made it six straight state titles in duals, and it wasn’t even close. Commerce rolled through Trion, 56-15, completing another near-perfect weekend that included wins over Mount Zion (72-6) and Turner County (65-12).

JEFFERSON

The Dragons made it 18 straight state championships! But it wasn’t easy, as Jefferson took on #1-ranked North Hall, and came out with a thrilling 30-29 win to claim the title. The Dragons had beaten Central Macon (72-6) and Sonoraville (33-24) before facing the Trojans.

LUMPKIN COUNTY

The Indians had a great run, entering as #11 out of 12 teams. However, those numbers didn’t shake Lumpkin, as the team upset #6 Pierce County (39-31) before falling to #3 Sonoraville (52-15). The Indians rebounded with a huge win over #5 Pike County (46-24) and #8 Cook County (48-16) before falling to Jackson County (58-12). That was good for a fifth-place finish.
