CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — A memorable comeback at Chattanooga has propelled Appalachian State’s wrestling team to another Southern Conference championship. Match-ending wins from Randall Diabe and Cary Miller lifted App State to an 18-16 road victory that secures at least a share of a third straight SoCon title for the Mountaineers (8-3, 6-0). They face Duke at Varsity Gym on Thursday before wrapping up their SoCon schedule at The Citadel (1-9, 0-4) on Feb. 18. “I’m so proud of our guys,” App State coach JohnMark Bentley said. “It was a match that kind of went back and forth, back and forth.
