Exceptionally deep and experienced squad that looks to knock off West-Oak, BHP, and the other 3A powers in 2024. The Cyclones return 4 state qualifiers including 106 lb. State Runner-up Eduardo De Paz. De Paz is joined by State Qualifiers Jaheem Rambert and Tristian Woodard to give Coach Jensen a solid punch at the bottom of the lineup. CJ McCree, also a returning state qualifier, is joined by a pair of freshmen in Luke Reed and Chris Still as well as Jabrell White, Antonio Hopkins, Terry Radford and Zion Carson up top. Carson and Hopkins both won matches at Upper State and will look to punch their ticket to the big dance in 2024. The key for Chester is in the middle. Andre Hall, Omari Pendergrass, Darriyan Baxley, Juan Hernandez, and Zy Whitlock all have post-season experience … if they can make some noise in 2024 … lookout. - SEWrestle
