State of the Program ... McAdory (AL)
McAdory (AL)
McAdory finished 4th at the 5A-6A Alabama State Tournament and the Jackets return nearly all of their hammers in 2021-2022. They do lose PJ Henderson, Jacob Champion and Yaxzkhin Martinez, but return five of their placers and should be in the hunt for the team title. Alabama 5A-6A is extremely deep - so the path will be far from easy with Gardendale, Arab, and others ready to knock them off.
Hudson Waldrop, Cross Earley, Donald Phillips, Aiden Knight, and Savian Graham should give Coach Dutton a ton of confidence that he has a core group that is hungry for the title. Each climbed onto the podium in 2021 and each will be hunting for the top step (both individually and as a team) in 2022. Add in State Qualifiers William Miller, Christion Griggs, Carson Roberts, and Jaxon Hudgins and you have a team that can compete with anyone. Another big reason to watch McAdory is the return of three previous State Qualifiers/Placers that did not compete in 2021 due to injury or Covid. Marvin Barrera, KeAndre Poelinitz, and Curtis Weatherspoon should have an impact in 2022. Keep an eye on Erik Lessear (a move-in from Ohio) as well as Wesley Miller - both could make some noise in 2022.
“We have a very solid line up. We have 6 state placers returning and 13 state qualifiers, if you count the guys that didn’t compete in 2021. We should be a contender for a state title this season if we can get everyone in the right weight class. This is a experienced team with guys that have had a great deal of mat time.”
