Scotland had just one qualifier in 2023, but it was a good one in State Runner-up Dominic Blue. Blue finished 2nd at 170 as a freshman and returns hunting the top step. But Scotland is more than just Blue … they return a lineup filled with experience. The next step is punching their ticket to the big dance. Minnie Locklear and Josh Stone are both seniors with post-season experience and both will look to make the state tournament in their final season at Scotland. Wyatt Locklear and Josh Smith both qualified for the Mideast Region Tournament in 2023 as freshmen and both will look to parlay that experience into a big sophomore season. Keep an eye on Sophomore Thomas Salinas as well to make some noise in 2024. Lots opportunities for this crew … who will step up in 23-24? - SEWrestle
