The Dodge County High School wrestling team completed an exciting and successful season this past weekend at the individual state tournament.
Dodge County sent four wrestlers to the state tournament, and three brought home medals. The individual state tournament matches up the top eight wrestlers from the state in their respective weights and classifications, and they battle to determine the top six.
Sophomore Javon McNeal qualified for the state tournament for the first time in his young wrestling career.
McNeal fell short of the medal stand but wrestled very competitively and gained valuable experience. McNeal finished the season as a top eight wrestler in the 220-pound weight division and a season record of 23 wins and 14 losses.
Senior Tyler Montford qualified for the state tournament last year, but fell short of reaching the podium. He returned this year determined to leave as a state placer.
After losing a tough, tightly contested match in the first round, Montford wrestled his way back through the consolation bracket, capturing sixth place and earning a spot on the medal stand. Montford finished his season with an area and sectional championship, a sixth place finish at state and a season record of 32 wins and ten losses.
Senior Jared Cannon completed his phenomenal high school career with a fifth place finish at the state tournament.
Cannon is a three-time state placer, as well as a two-time area champion. Cannon finished the season with a record of 23 wins and ten losses.
He has been a fixture in Dodge County wrestling since his days in the youth program.
Cannon’s leadership and drive have been a huge part of the success of Dodge County wrestling, and he was pivotal in helping the wrestling program record its most successful season in its history this year.
Senior Christian Grauberger has been a member of Dodge County wrestling since its inception.
Grauberger began his wrestling career in Dodge County’s inaugural season, wrestling in the youth program as a second grader.
Grauberger completed his high school wrestling career with a third place finish at the state tournament.
He finished his senior season with a record of 42 wins and two losses.
Grauberger has been a two-time area champion, two-time sectional champion and a three-time state placer.
Grauberger was Dodge County’s first finalist in last year’s state tournament, when he brought home second place.
Cannon and Grauberger are the first Dodge County wrestlers to place three times at the state tournament.
The Dodge County Wrestling program will miss the experience and leadership of Montford, Cannon and Grauberger, but at the same time is in good hands with a young group of talented and hard working young men including McNeal.
The team is looking forward to building on this year’s success for years to come.

Dodge County wrestlers are headed to state tournament
By Brian Grauberger
The Dodge County High School Wrestling team traveled to Toombs County High School this past Saturday to compete in the Eastern Sectional tournament. To be eligible for the tournament, a wrestler had to place at least fourth in the area tournament this past weekend. The top four placers at the sectional tournament advance to the state tournament next Friday and Saturday.
Six Dodge County wrestlers entered the tournament. Senior Christian Grauberger was the reigning sectional champion and entered the tournament as the number one seed.
He continued his dominance in the 152-pound weight class. Grauberger mercy-ruled all of his opponents by scoring 15 or more points more than they did through the finals. Because he won the tournament in such dominant fashion, he will once again enter the state tournament as a number one seed.
Senior Tyler Montford proved to be the top 182-pound wrestler in both the area and sectional tournaments.
Following up his area championship last weekend, Montford pinned his first two opponents to get to the finals before winning by points in the finals over his opponent from Toombs. Montford is heading to state as a number one seed, improving from his number four seed last year.
Senior Jared Cannon continued his impressive run of placing high in every tournament he enters. Cannon pinned his way to the finals before losing to the sectional champion from Toombs, capturing second place. Cannon enters the state tournament as a number two seed, an improvement to his number three seed last year.
Sophomore Javon McNeal dominated his first round opponent in the 220-pound weight class before losing to the sectional champion in the second round. McNeal climbed his way back to the consolation finals before losing to a familiar foe from Washington County. McNeal’s fourth place finish earned him his first trip to the State Championship tournament. He will enter the tournament as a number four seed.
These four young men qualified for the state tournament and have the opportunity to be crowned the best in the state at their respected weight class.
Senior Christian Tyukodi fell one spot short of qualifying for the state tournament by finishing 5th in 106-pound weight class.
Freshman Joah Gay’s solid season came to an end with a sixth place finish in the 170-pound weight class.
Come to the Macon Centerplex in Macon on Friday and Saturday to support our wrestlers. Wrestling will begin at 10:00 a.m. both days.

Indians have four area champions
The Dodge County Wrestling team accomplished a first in the program’s short history; the team crowned four individual champions at the area championships. The Indians entered nine wrestlers into the tournament, the top four placers at each weight move on to the sectionals tournament next weekend, and a chance to earn their spot in the state tournament.
Senior Christian Grauberger, a two time state placer and last year’s state runner-up, came into the area tournament as the number one seed with a 36-1 record on the year and continued his dominance on the mat, pinning his competition in the first period to become champion at 152 pounds.
Senior Jared Cannon, last year’s area champion and two time state placer, received the number one seed and proved he was worthy, winning his first two matches by pin and defeating his opponent from Callaway in the finals by decision to become the 160-pound champion.

Squaws and Indians in second place heading into final week; region tournament next week
By Chad W. Smith
The Dodge County High School (DCHS) basketball teams had three games on the schedule last week. Dodge traveled to Washington County on Tuesday, January 23, 2018 in a Region 3AA game and then returned home for two non-region rivalry games against Telfair County on Friday, January 26 and Hawkinsville on Saturday, January 27, 2018.
The Squaws moved to 17-4 and 6-3 in Region 3AA with two wins and one loss. Dodge knocked off previously unbeaten (in the region) and third ranked Washington County, 62-58, lost to 3rd ranked (A) Telfair County, 52-58 and defeated Hawkinsville, 54-31.
The Squaws, as of today, are second in Region 3AA with a 6-3 record, with three region games left this final week of the regular season. The Region 3AA Tournament is next week, February 5-6 & 9-10. If the Squaws remain number two or move to number one in the region then they would receive a bye and automatic bid to the state playoffs and would play in the Region 3AA semifinals and finals on Friday, February 9 and Saturday, February 10, 2018 at the number one girl’s team which is Washington County at this point. If the Squaws win their last three region games and Washington County should lose one or two more, then the Squaws could take over number one and host the tournament.
