Outstanding program. Coach Merry has built Mt Pisgah Christian into one of the premier programs in the state regardless of class. They go and compete against everyone and are always in the hunt for a title. Despite graduating some hammers including 3 State Champions and a State Placer … Pisgah still returns enough firepower to be one of the favorites to make a run to the top step again. State Champions Marley Washington and Conner Doherty are back to defend their titles along with State Runner-up Josh Lange and State Placers Steele Brown, Christian Lange, Pierre Nelson and State Qualifier Tyler Prinzo. But to make a run in 1A - you need depth and that is where some new faces will be asked to step up. Keep an eye on Dillon Brubaker, JP Pickren, Zayd Ahmed, Jake Schmitz, and Praise Chane as well as a pair of freshmen in Noah Bellue and Chase Mckee. If Pisgah is going to defend their dual title and take the traditional one as well they will need a few of those mentioned above to step up and punch their ticket to Macon in 2024. - SEWrestle
