State of the Program ... Kell (GA)
Kell (GA)
For the first time in many years it looks like Kell will enter the season without a Parlato. Patrick Parlato finished 2nd a year ago (and he followed his older brother who won a state title at Kell). The Longhorns also graduated State Qualifiers Parker Knor and Keith Williams - so the 2021-22 version will look to Micah Zefo to lead the way. Zefo is also a returning State Qualifier and probably Kell’s best shot to make the podium in 2022.
Keep an eye on Josh Barker, Donavan Ruredzo, Chase Kresge, and Turner Dampler as well as others to make an impact in 2021-2022. Kell will also turn to Reagan Masters (Girls runner-up at 122 a year ago) and she, along with Caroline Buffington, will look to help the Girls program break into the top 10 in 2022. Reagan is the first girl to be voted team captain to Kell's wrestling team (men's & women's) … she will lead the Longhorns along with Senior and fellow captain Micah Zefo.
“Replacing 7 contributing seniors is a challenge for any program. After a very productive summer, the Longhorns are looking to rebuild under the leadership of Senior, Team Captain and three time GHSA state qualifier Micah Zefo. Junior All 6A Defensive Lineman Josh Barker, will be looking to make noise in Macon at heavyweight after finishing 4th at the 6-AAAAAA Region Tournament behind three state placers (only 3 qualified in 2021). Senior and 2020 Sectional Qualifier, Fernando Hogan will also be looking to make a run in Macon after missing 2021 due to a leg injury.”
