Five Washington County 3A wrestlers won opening-round bouts to move to Friday’s quarterfinals. Canon-McMillan teammates Collier Hartman and Andrew Binni, Trinity’s Blake Reihner and Bode Morgan, along with Ringgold’s Jake Conroy are into the championship bracket second round. The two-county area lost only one of the 13 wrestlers entered as Trinity’s Robbie Allison defaulted in his opening bout while leading and was not able to wrestle in the consolation round.
