Chestatee wrestler Carter Groves originally didn’t want the individual pressure of needing a win to clinch the War Eagles’ first-ever Hall County Duals Championship title Saturday at North Hall High. But when the situation called for Groves to do just that, he thrived in the spotlight. With Chestatee down by three points and just one match left in the championship round against Flowery Branch, the 285-pound junior defeated R.J. Deyton 11-1 to score a four-point major decision and lift the War Eagles over the Falcons 31-30 for their first county title in team history.
