Brunswick (GA)
The Pirates have been clicking over the last several years and it looks as if Coach Bartolotta and Coach Insalaco have this team in a spot where they simply reload instead of having to rebuild from year to year. They were 5th at the Traditional State Tournament in 2021 and although they graduate some significant firepower (State Placers William Abbott and Jeremiah Dawson as well as others) - they are positioned to be back in the hunt again in 2022.
The Pirates return 5 important Seniors with post-season experience including State Placers Peter McKinney, Leon Charlton, and Staffon Stanley as well as Marcus Norman and Tre Elvine. Add in returning State Placer Blake Ethridge as well as Comari Cone and Anthony Lowe and Brunswick could put as many as 10 on the podium in Macon. 6A is probably the deepest class in Georgia - so the continued development of Nicholas Hickox, Ian Deloney, and others will be huge if they are going to knock off defending Champs Buford. Keep an eye on transfer Sebastian Hutchinson as well as the emergence of incoming freshman Clayton Hicks … both should make some noise in 2022. Another name to keep an eye on is River Creel - the sophomore heavyweight will look to fill some big shoes in the lineup.
“Brunswick High in the 4th year under Coach Bartolotta and Coach Insalaco and look to take another step with the program towards the top! Finishing in the top 4 last year in the State Duals and top 5 in Traditional! Brunswick High also will host the 2022 Class 6A State Duals Championships on January 22! ”
