Coach Ford has a solid group coming back this season led by State Runner-up Gunner Marshall. Marshall finished 2nd at 120 in 2023 and will be looking to climb to the top step in 2024. The Eagles lose State Qualifier Marcus McCarson, but return a trio that have post-season experience. Mason Maybin, Bryce Allison, and Jaxon Metcalf all wrestled at the West Region tournament with Allison nearly punching his ticket in 2023. Expect all three to be looking to book their trip in 2024. The Eagles also welcome the return of heavyweight Wyatt Nabors who missed last season due to injury. East Henderson has returners throughout the lineup … Noel and Allen join Marshall and Maybin in the upper lightweights, Rutterford, Sackett, and Seht McCarson join Allison in the middle and Gabe Jones and Colton Riddle join Maybin and Nabers up top. The one concern is down low where some new faces will be called on … one you might want to keep an eye on is freshman Tyler Shipman at 120. - SEWrestle
