Benedictine (GA)
Head Coach: Joe Tvrdy (entering his 21st season)
Staff: Harry West
Benedictine return a solid group after losing just 2 Seniors from the 2020-2021 squad. This is a team with experience and will look to make some noise in 4A this coming season. Not only do they return experience - they return a host of wrestlers with state tournament experience (and several that had multiple wins in 2021 in Macon). Seniors Gabe Tvrdy, Kyen Argentinis, and Shayne Strickland shoudl lead the way and each will look to climb onto the podium in 2022.
Keep an eye on Xander Argentinis and Kaz Meriwether - both wrestled great as freshmen a year ago and both should also be hunting for a spot on the podium in 2022. Three Seniors - William Crawford, Alex Ramsey, and Valerio Magluilo should be key to seeing how high Benedictine climbs in 2022 … this is a team with a lot of experience - if they can pull it altogether they have a real chance to greatly improve on their 11th place finish from a year ago (a top 5 finish is within their reach). Freshmen Connor Desautels and John Dodson will be two others to watch as well.
“BC only lost 2 seniors off last year’s team. We have a lot of good wrestlers returning but have to sort out our line-up.”
