North Hall wrestlers won four individual titles at the Area 8-AAAA traditional championships, but it wasn’t enough for the Trojans to claim top honors. The Trojans (183.50 points) sent seven wrestlers to title matches, more than any other school, but were edged by Buford (189.50) and Chestatee (184.00) in the final standings on Saturday at Chestatee High. “We knew it would be hard to get the win,” said North Hall coach Stuart Cunningham.
