Wrestling – Franklin Rebel Invitational

Annalise Dodson 

Nolensville High School hosted the 2020 TSSAA Girls Wrestling West Region championships over the weekend. Six Williamson County wrestlers placed in the tournament, led by a pair of Independence grapplers.

Independence senior MaKaylee Catlett was the top wrestler from the county with a third-place finish in the 170-pound weight class. Teammate Taylor Sullivan, a freshman, added a fourth place finish at 103 for the Lady Eagles. Both qualified for the upcoming state tournament as the top four wrestlers in each weight earn state berths. 

Catlett pushed her record to 32-16 overall. She fell in the semifinals, but regrouped to win back-to-back matches by pin in the consolation bracket, including her 39-second pin of Northwest’s Lilly Chandler for third.

Centennial junior Maggie Uehling (103), Franklin junior Annalise Dodson (125), Ravenwood sophomore Kaylen Thomas (150) and Independence senior Skylar Bixby (160) all placed sixth.

Uehling fell in overtime against Dickson County’s Kristen Allsup in the fifth place match.

Dodson ran into eventual 125-pound champion Robbin Yunis of Rossview in the semifinals, falling by pin late in the second round. The Franklin junior, who won the Franklin Rebel Invitational last month, pinned her first two opponents. In consolation, the Lady Rebel fell in the consolation semifinal because of a shoulder injury and later forfeited the fifth place match.

Thomas won four matches in consolation before falling to Blackman’s Nena Brown in the 150-pound consolation semis.

Rossview took the team championship at the regional with four champions and medalists in all but two weights.
