Blake Callihan, who placed fourth, will move on to the state tournament in Macon.The top four wrestlers from the sectionals tournament move on to the state tournament. Despite Chancey placing as one of the top 10 wrestlers in AAA in the 106 weight class, and Sean Callihan placing as one of the top 12 at 182 only Blake Callihan will take part in the State Traditional tournament.
