Arthur Williams wins state!

noreply@blogger.com (Jarrett Moore) — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 20:44:00 +0000

Congratulations to Tattnall's first individual Wrestling State Champion, Arthur Williams!

Read excerpt from the Macon Telegraph article by Brad Harrison-

"But perhaps the most emotional victory Saturday belonged to Tattnall's Arthur Williams in the 215-pound class. Williams, in only his second year of wrestling, battled back against Tiftarea's Austin Felts from an early 4-2 and later a 6-3 deficit to tie the score up at 6 early in the third period. Williams took over from there, dominating the final minute to win 11-7. He was quickly mobbed by teammates, friends and family after the victory. He's Tattnall's first individual state wrestling champion.

"I'm just excited, I feel so good. Words can't explain how I feel right now," an emotional and teary eyed Williams said. "I'm the first one to do this for my school, I love my school; I'm so glad I could do this for my school."

Tattnall head coach Jeff Ratliff credited the work ethic of Williams for his success.

"I think Arthur's heart showed and up and got him though," Ratliff said. "Arthur just kept plugging away, and it goes back to his heart. It just goes back to where he started and how hard he's worked and where he is now."

Cail Brinson won 2nd Place, Forrest Selman placed 3rd, and Austin Anderson took 4th place in respective weight classes.
