State Duals: 6A girls
For the first time in school history, The Woodlands College Park won a state championship.
The girls wrestling team beat Allen, 42-27, in the State Duals on Saturday at Kay Yeager Coliseum in Wichita Falls.
However, winning the state title was part of what was a different state finals — at least one that stood for a while.
The Cavaliers beat Killeen Harker Heights in the semifinals and then Coppell beat Allen in the other semifinals. Between the semifinals and finals, Coppell self-reported a violation.
A wrestler competed in a match two weight classes above what they could. The rule is only one weight class. Calls were made to NFHS to double-check that the tournament directors were interrupting the rules correctly.
Coppell had beat Allen, 36-34.
With the switch and Allen getting a forfeit, the match as tied 36-36. It was then decided on criteria and due to the forfeit, Allen got a bonus point and won 37-36 — about an hour after the actual match.
