State of the Program ... Huntsville (AL)
Huntsville (AL)
The Panthers lose some heavy hitters from a team that finished 5th in the Alabama 7A Traditional State Tournament. Zander Fields, Conner Cole, Dominick Ciccolella, Hunter Crane, Hunter Wilson, and Zachary Sanger accounted for 52% of the state tournament points from 2021. Usually that would mean that the team would need to look to rebuild and might take a few steps back the next year. That is not likely for Huntsville. They probably won’t be in the hunt for a top 2 finish with Thompson and Vestavia returning a ton of firepower, but they return enough to make a run at the top 3.
State Placers Hayden Bradford, Todd Whitmire, Max Morrow, and Brock Fields should lead the way and each will look to climb higher on the podium in 2022. Whether Huntsville finishes as high as 3rd or drops below their 5th place finish from a year ago will likely come down to how well Joseph Sowell, John John McKinney, and Jake Womble wrestle in 2022. Keep an eye on Wallace Blue, Dalton Wood, and freshmen Kiyan and Yanik Simon … if they can make an impact Huntsville will be right back in the mix again in 2022.
