South Carolina State Duals - Elite 8
South Carolina is tough to keep up with. Not much is on trackwrestling - understanding who won which weights and which potential matchups are important to the next dual is not something I know. Also the duals state tournament in South Carolina is a grind - 4 matches in 7 days for the champ and runner-up. Not much time for any analysis.
Class 5A
Top seed Hillcrest visits #6 Clover on Monday. Both teams advanced with relative ease to the Elite 8. #2 Byrnes had a little more work to do in their 1st round win over Ft. Mill (41-31) and will visit #9 Northwestern on Monday.
