At this weekend's 4-AAAA State Wrestling Championships, senior Joe Hulen (138-pound weight class) won fourth place and junior Michael Edwards (132) placed sixth.
Six Creekview Grizzlies competed in the 2012 Georgia State Traditional Wrestling Championships at The Arena at Gwinnett Center. Held Thursday through Saturday, Creekview battled wrestlers form all over the state. Although Creekview would have liked more medals, the team's future is bright under the direction of head coach Wyatt Wilkie and co-coach Kevin Higgins. After the loss of many seniors last year, the 2012 team rallied back with support from a strong group of juniors, sophomores and freshmen. All are returning next year.
