The Dunwoody Wildcats head into this weekend’s DeKalb County Wrestling Championships with a repeat opportunity as teams from across the county compete beginning Friday at Tucker High School.

The competition begins at 4:00 pm on Friday. Wrestle backs continue beginning at 9:00 am on Saturday at Tucker with the championship rounds set for approximately 2:00 pm.

Dunwoody has won four of the past five championships and six overall. All six titles have come since 2016 under Coach Luke McSorely. A repeat this year would put the Wildcats in a tie with Redan for second place with seven titles. Columbia leads with eight.

The Wildcats reclaimed the title 246-175 over Southwest DeKalb who had won in 2023. Marist was third with a score of 174. Dunwoody had 12 Top Five finishes last year including three gold, three silver and three bronze medal winners.

Dunwoody already has the Region 4-5A Team Duals title under their belt this season and went 1-2 at the State Duals.

Stone Mountain, the Region 5-3A Team Duels champ, could provide some stiff competition to the Wildcats this weekend. The Pirates also went 1-2 in the Class 3A State Duals held recently.

Lithonia (Region 5-4A runner-up) and Columbia (Region 5-2A runner-up) both reached the State Duals this year. Lithonia went 1-2 at state while Columbia finished 0-2.
