State of the Program ... Tallassee (AL)
Tallassee (AL)
Tallassee finished 33rd in the 5A/6A State Tournament in 2021 … a bit lower than they normally do, but new alignments, Covid-season, and no sectionals made for a challenging season for everyone. Mason Bell, Ethan Stevenson, and Donald Ledbetter have graduated, but return 5 of their 8 State Qualifiers and look ready to get the Tigers back in the hunt in 2021-2022.
Land Bell and Rutland Phillips each won multiple matches at the state tournament and should play a big role in pushing this year’s squad. The Tigers also return Jake Debardelaben, Christian McCrary, and John Burnham. The focus might be on the return of Brendan Emfinger after missing last season. Coach Mask has a solid group that have the ability to make some noise in 5A/6A - they aren’t likely to make a run for a top 5 finish, but they could put several on the podium in Huntsville.
“We have a great group of young men and we are very excited about the upcoming wrestling season. It is just always great to have the opportunity to wrestle and participate in the greatest sport ever.”
