Russell County graduates State Runner-up Avery Boyette, but returns a bevy of talent with post-season experience. Owen Elledge is the lone returning state qualifier and he will look to take the next step and climb onto the podium in 2024. He is joined in the middle of the RC lineup by Julian Anthony, Isiah Kinsey, and Mario Aguirre. The quartet should make-up the strength of the Russell County lineup. That said, RC also has returners with post-season experience at the bottom and top of the lineup as well. Ryan Forvour, Ah’Mir Bracey, and Gary Hollum each wrestled in the South Sectional Tournament a year ago and all three will look to punch their ticket in 2024. Brandon Gaskins will be called on to lead the top of the lineup. There will be a ton of competition in the room which should prepare those that end up as starters to make a push for making the state tournament this season. - SEWrestle
