State of the Program ... Hartselle (AL)
Hartselle (AL)
Head Coach: Joseph Hill (entering 4th year)
Staff: Danny Timms, Joey Schutt
Coach Hill only sent in a quote … so this will be an abbreviated State of the Program based on last year’s information.
Hartselle finished in the top 20 in a combined 5A-6A and will move to 6A in 2022-23. State Runner-up Lincoln Bryant and State Placer Gage Roberts are both slated to return as is State Qualifier Jackson Schutt. According to trackwrestling … Andril Tymchencko and Ethan England are both seniors and are eligible to return. Brian Holt is a Junior, but the majority of the squad should be sophomores. Jacob Doshier, Garrett Willingham, and Jameson Falciani could return also.
“We’re a young team with a lot of experience. Mostly sophomore led, this team returns one state finalist, one fourth place and one additional state qualifier. Most of this group has been starting since they were eighth graders and two years later looks like they’re turning the corner. We look for our upperclassmen to set the tone in competitions and practice while these sophomores learn from it to carry momentum for years to come. This could be an exciting year and we have expectations for this group.”
NOTE: All mentions of placers and qualifiers in the body are based on the 2021-22 season. If a wrestler placed higher or lower in a previous year it is not captured above.
