Perseverance was on display time and time again last night at North County HS for the State Dual Meet Wrestling Championships where Bel Air battled for the Class 2A/1A title over Glenelg, 32-23 and Reservoir prevailed in a nail-biter decided by tie-breaking criteria over LaPlata for the Class 4A/3A trophy, 32-31.
In order to reach the Finals, LaPlata topped Urbana 35-24 and Reservoir bested Whitman 34-28 in the Class 4A/3A semifinal matches. On the Class 2A/1A side, Glenelg won a close match over South Carroll 28-27 and Bel Air overcame Owings Mills, 39-28 to win their semifinal matches and face off in the Finals.
The MPSSAA is extremely grateful for everyone's patience in completing the Dual Meet Tournament, especially Tournament Director Dave Dodson and members of the State Wrestling Committee. We are also indebted to the North County HS administration and staff for stepping up to the plate as a replacement site for the Finals when snow forced postponement on the original date.
