Morgan County (GA)
Head Coach: Jared Rector (entering 1st season at Morgan County)
Staff: Carter Shultz, Bryan St. James, Stewart Spence, Sam Simmons, Tim leclaire
Morgan County will make a huge shift in 2021-2022. Coach Rector takes over after a successful run at Union Grove the last several years and looks to have a fairly new group of wrestlers after graduating State Placers Zachary Wages and Griffin McAlister as well as State Qualifiers Brandon Grindle and Jeremiah Grimsley. That doesn’t mean Rector and his staff won’t have anything to work with in year one … State Placer Chance Reid returns and should be hunting for the top step in 3A at 285.
Morgan County also returns State Qualifiers Caleb Turner, Cason Turner, and Andres Casillas - but for Morgan County to continue to push to the top in 3A they will need some new faces to step up and make a difference. Keep an eye on Will Wages, Chase Morgan, Paul Bessette, Miles Butler, Chase Scherer and Omar Hayes - they will be key to how well Morgan County does as a team in 2022.
“It feels like a new era at Morgan County. We have a very young team and a new coaching staff. The core group of guys has really improved throughout the summer and preseason and are ready to do big things. we are hoping to turn our top 10 finish last season into a top 5 finish this year.”
