PREP BASKETBALL PREP WRESTLING ‘Odd’ year, but Moving on up good one for building SHS wrestling

BY DENNIS BRUNSON [email protected]

This has been an “odd” year for the Sumter High School wrestling team. The Gamecocks are only able to fill spots in nine of the 14 weight classes, thus putting them at a major disadvantage before the first one steps on the mat for the first match. Add to that, SHS head coach Josh Wil- liams is breaking in six first- year grapplers and it adds to the oddity of the situation. Yet as Sumter prepares for the Region VI-5A quad at So- castee High in Myrtle Beach on Saturday, it owns a 6-7 match record in the month of January. “It’s been a good year in terms of watching these first- year wrestlers progress,” Wil- liams said. “You wouldn’t recog- nize some of them from where they were at the start of the MICAH GREEN / THE SUMTER ITEM year to where they are now.
