Randy Shelton hadn’t stressed so much over the region duals in about a decade.
Between COVID and other illness, the Greeneville coach simply wanted to keep his team healthy. The Greene Devils did that and carried on their winning tradition Tuesday night.
After dismantling Tennessee High 66-10, Greeneville won the Region 1-A dual wrestling championship at its home gymnasium, defeating David Crockett 53-30. The win marks Greeneville’s 10th straight region duals title.
“We’ve talked this week about narrowing your circle down,” Shelton said. “COVID has caused it to be not always who’s the most talented but who shows up with the most healthy kids. Our kids have done a great job staying healthy, and they wrestled extremely well.”
Next thing Shelton knew, the Greene Devils needed just one pin to clinch the title. And his two-time state finalist took care of business quickly. LeAndre Dabney needed just 1:06 to pin Crockett’s Graham Carriger for a 47-18 lead with three weight classes remaining.
Dabney’s younger brother joined the fun. Freshman Elijah Dabney scored the fall on Derek Onks 49 seconds into the third period to make it 53-24.
“We wrestled well against quality competition, that makes me feel like we’re rolling into sectionals and state duals hopefully in a good spot,” Shelton said.
LeAndre Dabney and Colin Dupill were the only Greene Devils to go 2-0 without a forfeit win. Dabney pinned Tennessee High’s Ryan Phipps in 15 seconds to start his night.
Dupill, who pinned Tennessee High’s Aiden Fennell in 47 seconds, moved up from the 152-pound weight class to 160 against Crockett. Thirty seconds into the final frame, he scored the fall over Rance Horton to give Greeneville a 17-0 lead.
After Noah Murray defeated Crockett’s Anthony Lastra by tech fall, Greeneville got another pin from Kodiak Cannedy in just 43 seconds over Xander Laws.
Ronan Johnson (106) pinned Tennessee’s Aidan Smith in 3:40, and Carson Dupill (113) scored the fall in just 13 seconds to defeat John McCracken.
All of Greeneville’s other wins came by forfeit.
Greeneville hosts Region 2 runner-up Halls in the Class A Sectional at 6:30 p.m. Thursday. Thursday’s winner advances to the state duals on Feb. 5 in Franklin.
