Greenbrier (GA) - Girls
Head Coach: Donell Bradley (1st year)
Staff: Aaron Epstein, Derek Pollard, Julian Brown, and Ryan McDermott
No team scores a season ago for the Girls, but if there had been … the Pack would’ve been in the hunt. 2022 State Runner-up Jayde Massa and State Placer Arieana Bacon (4th at 152) along with State Qualifier Phoebe Melvin led the way in 2022 and should do so again this season. All three return and each will look to push to the top of the podium after just missing a season ago. The Pack also features 10 others with experience including a pair of Seniors in Julia Zanatta and Katlyn Means.
Add in Juniors Jordan Epstein, Ryan Lewis, Mya Pilger and Trinity Pritchett and Sophomores Liz Martinez and Jalaia Ross and this team has all of the makings of a team that can make a run for the title. Keep an eye on Senior Lyric Drumgoole and freshmen Journey Drumgoole and Esperanza Huiton … if they can fit into the lineup down low then this is a team that will push Chestatee and the others for the top step. The Pack is tough from 130-195 … the key to a title will be Epstein, Drumgoole (x2) and Lewis down low and finding a 235 to fit into a solid lineup from top to bottom.
“We are excited about the upcoming season. We have a solid group of returning wrestlers that are leading the way with some new faces that are sure to make a statement. Last year was about building the foundation and making sure we didn’t let the “speedbumps” slow down our progress. This year we are going in with the objective of tearing down the walls that stand between us and greatness. That “greatness” will mean different things for each girl, but if we stick to that we will do great things this season.”
NOTE: All mentions of placers and qualifiers in the body are based on the 2021-22 season. If a wrestler placed higher or lower in a previous year it is not captured above.
