Madison County (GA)
Madison County lives with the big dogs in Georgia 4A - Jefferson (Champs), North Oconee (2nd), Flowery Branch (3rd) as well as East Hall, Chestatee, and others. The Red Raiders have been in the mix with those teams for the last several years, but enter the 2021-2022 season without their hammer (and State Champ) Josh Kincaid. That means the Red Raiders will be looking to some new faces to step up and lead the way in a very tough region. Casey Lovelace returns after qualifying for the State Tournament a year ago at 152 and should be one of the four to help lead the way.
Dalton Giles, Toby House, and Tristan Poss each finished 4th in the region a year ago (a year in which the GHSA didn’t have sectionals and took the top 3 from each region to the state tournament). I’d expect those four to set the tone for the Red Raiders in 2021-22. Keep an eye on Brodie Hawks, Will Hartlage, and Nate Krickel as well as Jace Jachimiski and Bryer Autry as they will look to make some noise this coming season. The Red Raiders have tough road ahead of them, but will look to continue the climb against the best 4A has to offer.
