State of the Program ... Crescent (SC)
Crescent (SC)
Head Coach: Austin Powell (entering 2nd season)
Staff: Antonio Tillman
A year ago Coach Powell pulled together a Crescent team with some talent and got them working toward a common goal … by the end of a tough year (with schedule changes, Covid restrictions, and everything else) he had the Tigers standing atop the 1A/2A podium. The Tigers put all 8 State Qualifiers on the podium including Adams, Williams, and Ellis who each claimed an individual title as well. Two of those Champs - Brayden Adams and Kade Williams return looking for another title to bring home in 2022.
Crescent also returns 4 State Placers in Aquan Taylor, Elijah Richey, Kamrun Gentle, and Isaiah Ellis. If Crescent can put all six back on the podium again in 2022 - and preferably high on the podium - they will be tough to knock off. Keep an eye on Jay Adams and incoming freshman Jayden Hicks to make some noise in 2022. Crescent will be tough to beat as they make a run for their 2nd consecutive title in 2022.
““It’s never crowded at the top...”
There is a great group of guys returning this season. We have a packed schedule with several out of state opponents. Our plan is to get a lot of tough wrestling in before region matches begin. Go Tigers! ”
