The results from the Dual Wrestling Area Tournaments set the field of teams that will be competing for the ultimate prize this weekend in Macon at the GHSA Team Duals Wrestling State Championships. A total of 50 different Area Tournaments were held across the state this past weekend, and the top two finishers from each area earned spots in the state tournament.
