FOLKSTON, GA — Georgia’s season is a week ahead of Florida’s.
But that didn’t keep Fernandina Beach from competing well at the Black Water Duals, hosted by Charlton County HS on Saturday.
The Pirates were 3-2 on the day, with their only losses coming against a pair of Georgia state duals qualifiers in Pierce County (36-30) and tournament champion South Effingham (52-28).
Fernandina left the day in third place, with dual victories over McIntosh County Academy (63-6), host Charlton (53-30) and Glynn Academy (48-30).
Seven of the Pirates’ 12 starters had at least three wins on the day, with six winning at least four and two finishing the day at 5-0.

Fernandina Beach will next wrestle at home on Saturday, as the Pirates will host the Dual in the Dunes one-day tournament.
ACE OF THE DAY
Senior Jeremy Mahoney (126) was one of two FBHS wrestlers to start the season with a 5-0 record, and was the only Pirate to “max-point” (earn 6 dual team points in each dual wrestled during the day) during the competition. Mahoney had falls in succession over Glynn Academy, Pierce County, McIntosh County Academy and South Effingham, with a forfeit against the hosts.
