Associated PressA group of dedicated young men make a point to never leave the wrestling mat for too long once to the high school season has seen its final pin. Three of those local athletes were set against the best in the country last weekend as Jacob Henderson, Wes Conley and Dalton Blankenship competed at the National High School Coaches Association National Wrestling Championships in Virginia Beach, Virginia. “Because you are going to find that extra move that’s going to get you the takedown against the kid who never left the wrestling room.” Henderson and Conley wrestle for Armuchee High School during the winter months, while Blankenship grapples for Darlington. All three won a Georgia High School Association traditional state title in their respective weight classes this past season, with Blankenship picking up his second in a row.
