The 2024-2025 wrestling season proved to be one of the most captivating yet. With less than a month left in the season, wrestlers and varsity Coach Chuck Deason looked back on season’s events.
The season began in late October of last year, with the first competition being a tournament at Brookwood High School on November 9. The wrestling program performed well, winning 16 of their 30 dual meets and participating in 6 individual tournaments.
Additionally, the team participated in two marquee tournaments, the Prep Slam at Holy Innocents’ High School and the McCallie Invitational in Chattanooga.
This season has not been without adversity as Coach Deason explained. “We have had several key injuries this year that have made this season challenging,” said Deason. The team as a whole, however, has persevered and made this season memorable. “The coaches are happy with the progress and development of the team,” said Deason.
The practice and conditioning schedule for the wrestling season is challenging and intends to make the wrestlers fit and ready to compete. Starting in the preseason, athletes participate in weight training twice a week and live wrestling at daily practices.
The wrestling season concludes on February 14 with the state tournament. Students should mark it on their calendars make plans to attend to watch the best wrestlers at our school compete for the 4A state title in Macon.
