Robbinsville wrestling is back on top of the state, winning an NCHSAA dual team title for the first time since 2017.
No. 1 Robbinsville claimed the 1A state championship, their second overall, after defeating East No. 1 South Davidson 58-24 on Feb. 17. The Black Knights also defeated No. 2 Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy, 65-10, in the 1A West Regional final.

No. 2 Enka fell just short of a 5A Western Regional title, and it came down to the final match.
The Jets went into the 175-pound bout, the final one of their match against No. 1 West Rowan, needing any sort of decision to win. Though Tyler Nielsen earned a late reversal to make it close, he fell in a 5-3 decision to Holland Wellman, giving the Falcons a 38-34 victory.
