The Greyhounds enter 2023-2024 will a little chip on their shoulder after being turned away from a team title in 2023. They claimed the dual title with a hard fought 36-34 win over Vancleave, but couldn’t match them at traditional and finished 2nd. With a ton of seniors on the squad … this group wants to finish their prep careers with the title. Gabe Shanks and Lucas Hall both claimed individual titles last year and headline a stout group of seniors that includes State Runners-up Jared Barr, Gabe Beeman, and Trent Schlosbery as well as State Placers Xavier Smith and Elijah Thompson. This team is stacked from top to bottom. The key for Ocean Springs will be the rest of the squad … Wyatt Jones, Garner Taylor, and Heisman Murphy were each 6th last year … if they can climb the podium then the Greyhounds will be tough to beat. Keep an eye on Ohio move-in William Pask who could be the difference when all is said and done. - SEWrestle
