Laney wrestling falls just short in the Class 4A State Championship

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY)–The Laney high school wrestling team saw their remarkable regular season in duel action come to end on Saturday afternoon.

The Buccaneers won the first three matches of the championship duel against Northwest Guilford at the Greensboro Coliseum , but a streak of pins towards the end proved to be the difference. Northwest won the 4A State Champion taking down Laney 33-27.

The appearance in the State Championships was Laney’s second time in the past three years. The Bucs will now turn their focus to the State Individual Championship. Laney and the rest of the Cape Fear area wrestlers will start their trek for a gold medal on February 14th.
