Huntsville – Wrestlers from the Trussville Tribune area turned in great performances at the AHSAA Wrestling Championships this weekend.
Earlier in the year, we reported on two young ladies who had won state championships in wrestling. Aniyah Griffin of Pinson and Katherine Grigsby of Hewitt Trussville etched their names into the history books back in January. Now, it was time for the boys to do the same.
Hewitt-Trussville had two state champions and a state runner-up in 7A. Moody had three state runners-up in 5A while both schools added some others and Leeds had a top 5 finish as well.
