           Veterans and West Laurens went 2-0 and advanced Thursday to the semifinals in their classes of the GHSA state dual wrestling tournament at the Macon Coliseum.

          Central’s debut in the state duals got off to a memorable start with a solid 53-24 win over Benedictine. That, unfortunately, got the Chargers a date with perennial powerhouse Jefferson, which cruised to a 78-6 win to send Central into the 3A wrestlebacks.

          Baldwin was already there in 4A, thanks to its 49-21 loss to Perry, which went on to fall 44-22 to Gilmer County.

          Lamar County followed a win over Harlem with a 73-0 loss to Elbert County in AA, and Mount de Sales went 1-1 in A, beating Landmark Christian handily and then battling Wesleyan before losing 49-25.

          Action starts at 9 a.m. Friday with wrestlebacks in 4A and 5A, and then at 11:15 a.m. Class A and 2A semis start at 1:30 p.m. with wrestlebacks at 3:45 p.m. Semis for 3A, 4A and 5A start at 6 p.m., with consolation quarterfinals for all classes starting at 8:15 p.m.

          Saturday’s consolations start at 9 a.m., and the finals at 3 p.m.

          Tickets are $12 a day with a facility fee of $2.
