State of the Program ... Chapin (SC)
Chapin (SC)
The Eagles finished the 2020-21 season 19th in 5A and return two of their 4 State Qualifiers for the 21-22 season. The Eagles lose State Placer Josh Green, but return both Vincent Del Priore and Patrick Brophy. Both will be hunting a spot on the podium in 2022. In a tough season where the SCHSL allowed significantly fewer state qualifiers than they normally would … the Eagles still had 4, but it will be up to some others if they are going to push the high expectations that Coach Dye has for this squad.
Both Boyce Blanks and Matthew Gummere finished 4th at Lower State in 2021 and will be key to Chapin making a run at the dual title or at the traditional state tournament. Look for Seniors Mac Watson, Brock Seal and Jaxon Jalbert as well as sophomore Carmine Keene to make an impact in 2022 as well. How well the supporting cast wrestles will play a big role in how high the Eagles soar in 2022.
“We have more seniors this year than Chapin High School Wrestling has ever had before. With our current skill level and all of the experience we have, the expectations for the team is simple. Win a Dual State Championship.”
