6A 2023

Mortimer Jordan tops Hartselle 46-19

  • Mortimer Jordan won 10 of the 14 weights as they cruise to the 6A finals. Caleb Wright, Brodie Christmas, and Aiden Morris gave MJ the lead and they never looked back.

Mountain Brooks downs Wetumpka 41-22

  • Mountain Brook’s Sam Carroll, Jack Windle, and Allen Baker put Mountain Brook in the lead 14-3 after the first 4 matches and the Spartans cruised to 8 wins and a 41-22 win over a tough Wetumpka squad. Falls by Stuart Andrews and Coleman Bates sealed the dual.

I assume the winners will dual after the first match of the evening.

    • Pell City vs. Gardendale

    • Mortimer Jordan vs. Oxford

Mortimer Jordan downed Oxford and Gardendale downed Pell City to advance to Elite 8 …

Mortimer Jordan and Gardendale traded blows early as the two teams were tied 12-12 after the first 4 matches. Huge wins by Jacob Horton, Conner Horton, and Weston Tossie pushed Mortimer Jordan into the lead 21-12 at the halfway point of the dual. Bowie of Mortimer Jordan and Beyke of Gardendale each got their teams 6 as we headed into the final 4 matches of the dual. Caleb Wright, Brodie Christmas, Aiden Morris, and Cruz Rainwater shut to door on any Gardendale comeback as Mortimer Jordan advances with a 47-24 win.

  • at Athens (5:30 pm)

    • Hartselle vs. Mae Jemison

    • Fort Payne vs. Athens

Hartselle dominated both of their duals to advance to the 6A Final 4. They downed Mae Jemison 53-27 before taking on Ft Payne in the Region Final. Both teams got falls early (and each got a forfeit) and the score was tied 12-12 after the first four matches, but from then on it was all Hartselle. Garrett Willingham, Payton Roberts, Gage Ownby, Adrii Tymchenko, Jameson Falciani, and Sam Ashley proved to be too much for Ft Payne as they each had a fall and Hartselle cruised to the dual win.

#5 Mountain Brook tops #1 McAdory 38-21 and #3 Homewood 38-21 to advance to the Alabama 6A Final 4.

Mountain Brook jumped out to an early lead on McAdory only to watch Jackets pull within 5 (26-21) with two matches remaining. Wyatt Chavez and Davis Smith shut to door on the comeback with falls at 106 and 113 to push Mountain Brook into an Elite 8 showdown with Homewood.

Homewood jumped out to a 16-6 lead on the Spartans after the first six matches. Sam Carroll turned the tide with a fall at 170 and the Spartans went on a run up top with Allen Baker getting a hard fought 2-0 win over Hayden Eldridge, Jack Windle and William Courtenay getting falls and Daniel Ellis getting a win in sudden victory at 285 to push Mountain Brook into the lead 30-16. Homewood's Joseph Marcum gave the Patriots hope with a major decision at 106, but Stephen Springfield sealed the dual with an 11-3 decision to push Mtn Brook into the Final 4.
