South Florence is just hitting their stride … heading into just their 3rd year as a program they had 2 state qualifiers two years ago and 5 last year. They do graduate State Runner-up Trokel Prew and State Qualifiers Jaylin Davis and Shikeem Shilow, but still return 285 lb. State Runner-up Justin Joe and SQ Avan Rosado. Given the depth of this squad they should be back making noise in 2024. Anoree Banks returns with post-season experience and the staff is high on Jeremiah Mitchell making an impact at 190. Keep an eye on the return of Jumaunte Westbrook who wrestled at Jasper (AL) before moving to South Florence a year ago. Joe and Avan will both be hunting the top step on the podium … how well the rest of the squad performs will determine how far the team goes in 2024. - SEWrestle

State of the Program - Cape Fear (NC)

Coaching Staff:

Heath Wilson

2023 Recap:

  • Finished 10th at the 3A Traditional State Tournament

Individuals:

  • Samuel Aponte - State Champion at 106

  • Landon Sargent - State Runner-up at 220

Graduated:


2023-2024

Returners (Grade):

  • No Roster Provided                         

No roster from Coach Wilson so no idea of who might return for the Colts. Cape Fear had 5 wrestlers that competed at the Mideast Region Tournament a year ago and if any return then Cape Fear could have some numbers at the state tournament in 2024. We know returning State Champ Samuel Aponte returns as does State Runner-up Landon Sargent. Both are joined by a dynmaic duo in freshmen Mac and Tye Johnson. We’ve seen both wrestle firsthand this summer and both are capable of punching their ticket to the big dance as well … who knows - we might see one or both on the podium this spring as well. - SEWrestle
