Murray County loses some firepower with graduation of Aaron Flood, Dawson Hope, and Luke Sims, but return State Placer Caleb Blair and State Qualifier Todd Banks. Blair was 3rd a year ago as a sophomore and is back hunting the top step this year. Banks also won matches in Macon and will be looking to make the podium in his final trip to Macon. The key for Murray County is the rest of the squad. Coach Enloe has a lot of wrestlers with post-season experience in Danny Ramirez, Eli Bowers, Aiden Johnson, Landon Souther, and Brayden Thompson … they just need to take that next step and punch their ticket to Macon. This team will be solid in 2023-2024, but could be special next season … of the names mentioned just Banks and Ramirez are seniors and Coach Enloe has brought in a solid freshman class. Keep an eye on Elijah Holmes as well as a pair of freshmen in Bransyn Perry and Domingo Sanchez. 2A better keep their eyes open as Murray County is looking to take another step toward the top of the mountain. - SEWrestle
