SEWrestle NOTE: Bryan County appears to get better and better each season. Lee and Gunter qualified last year and Lee returns looking to claim a spot on the podium … Lee were able to make the podium in 2024 - he would be the first-ever State placer for Bryan County. Riley Shuman, William Patrick, Carlos Arias, Jorge Jimenez and Byron Lewis each had wins at last year’s 1A Section B tournament. Don’t be surprised to see Bryan County eclipse their 2 State Qualifiers … 2024 could see as many as 5 or 6 on the mats in Macon.
