WEAVER — Weaver’s boys swept through the Class 1A-4A, Region 6 duals tournament Friday, beating Ohatchee 57-23 and Piedmont 56-23.

The Bearcats advanced to the first round of the state tournament and will wrestle West End-Walnut Grove on Friday at Ashville. The winner will battle the Alexandria-Ashville winner.

Friday’s regional marked the return of 157-pounder Gabriel Snyder, who missed Monday’s Calhoun County Tournament with an illness. He won both of his matches Friday.

Weaver is “almost to full strength, finally,” Weaver coach Justin Brown said. “Haven’t wrestled a single time this year  with our full lineup.”

Other Weaver wrestlers who went unbeaten Friday included Peyton Andrews (132), Haiden Hise (138), Isaac Overton (144), Dylan Brown (165), Gianluca Torres (175), Dalton Fink (190) and Zachary Hooks (215).
