Tallassee won the AHSAA South Super Sectional and qualified all 14 weight classes for next week’s state wrestling championships.
The Tallassee High School wrestling team accomplished an amazing feat on February 10 as the entire team qualified to compete in the Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA) State Championship.
Those 14 young men are Mason Nelson, Thomas Patterson, Roman Lozada, Aiden Bridgman, Brady Adams, Avery Brantley, Land Bell, Ethan Jones, Joseph Hooks, Tra’Mel McCoy, Christian McCary, Nolan Addeo, Jude Rogers, and Braden Arnold.
The THS wrestlers are coached by John Mask.
"I believe this is only the third time in program history to qualify all 14 wrestlers,” said Coach Mask. "Anyone that doesn’t follow wrestling may never understand what an amazing feat this is.”
"The coaching staff is extremely proud of our entire team and their efforts this weekend. I don’t really have words to describe how well we wrestled,” he continued. "Our goals are in front of us and we look to crown some champions and score as much as possible for our school,” Mask said.
