CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – On Saturday, wrestling’s individual post-season kicked off for the boys. Most CMCSS programs attended the Region 6 Class AA tournament at Springfield High School.
Meanwhile Montgomery Central’s boys traveled to the Region 7 Class A tournament at Sycamore High School, and Clarksville Academy traveled to Memphis for the Division 2 West tournament.
Clarksville was well represented on the podiums at the end of the day, with at least one finalist in every weight class at the Region 6 tournament. In all, area wrestlers claimed nine of the possible 14 championships at that event.
For most of the public schools, the top four from each region advance to the sectional tournaments. For Montgomery Central, it was the top six in some weight classes. For Clarksville Academy, their division does not have a sectional, and the top six go straight to the D2 state tournament next weekend.
Here are the boys advancing in each weight class and their final placings. Because there were multiple tournaments, there are multiple athletes listed for some placings:

Team points
