Travelers Rest has the top part of their lineup locked down with Knepp, Evett, Tankersley, and Baker. They will be tough to beat from 175-285 … the key for the team as a whole is who fills in the spots down low and through the middle. Look for a trio of freshmen in Jackson McLees, Peyton Burns, and Riley Broderick to step in from 106-138 as well as sophomore Ayden Hicks. The Devildogs will also look a trio of freshmen through the middle of the lineup with JT Burns, Jordan Williams and Aiden Garret looking to step up from 138-165. Noah Arrowood is another freshman that could step in up top, but finding a spot in the lineup at 285 could prove to be a challenge. Travelers Rest is super young … so there might be a few growing pains this season, but expect this team to grow by leaps and bounds this season. The team that takes the mat in November will not be the same team looking to make some noise in February. - SEWrestle
