State of the Program ... Banks County (GA)
Banks County (GA)
Banks County finished tied for 4th (with Elbert County) at the 2A traditional State Tournament a year ago. The Leopards lose a pair of State Runners-up in Evan Clark and Josh Stapleton, but other than that return nearly every other point-getter. This year’s edition of Banks County should be every bit as good as last year. The Leopards have a crowded field in 2A to contend with, but have the horses to make a run at the top step.
State Placers Jacob Voyles, Angel Cruz, and Kellon Walley each finished 3rd in 2021 and each will be hunting the top step in 2022. It isn’t inconceivable that the Leopards bring home three individual state champs when all is said and done. Still this is a very young squad that will need some of their 2021 State Qualifiers to step up if they are going to make a run at a team title. Elijah Mullins and Roman Haynes each won multiple matches at the 2021 state tournament and each will make a run for a spot on the podium. Keep an eye on these 4 sophomores … Jaxon Mitchell, Zak McClellon, Christian Lee, and Mason Dodd … they could be the key to how high the Leopards climb as a team.
“We will be very young. The majority of our wrestlers will be Freshman and Sophomores.”
