A chance for glory is something that many wrestlers have at the beginning of the season, but only a few actually experience glory at the state tournament. Among of those wrestlers was Chestatee’s senior Matthew McClellan, who placed first in the Class AAAA state championships Feb. 9-11 at the Macon Centreplex in Macon. After finishing third as a sophomore and fifth as a junior, he finally achieved his ultimate goal while becoming the first War Eagle to ever place at state three times, claiming a state championship at 145 pounds.
