Mat Cougars Able To Compete

Piedmont Academy’s varsity and middle school wrestlers were able to take to the wrestling mat last week at Westfield in Perry.

With several matches cancelled this season due to COVID-19 concerns, the mat time was valuable for the Cougars.

“I thought we did well for only our second competition,” coach Kaden Miller said. “On varsity, right now Westfield is probably the best team in the GISA. We were able to compete with them though.”

In addition to the host team, the varsity wrestlers also faced Schley County. The MS Cougars faced Southland and Crisp Academy.

Competing for the varsity Mat Cougars this season are Scott Swann (106), Daniel Joseph (113). Austin White (120), Boone Pope (120), Ray Lecroy (126), Michael Joseph (132, 138), Tanner Locklear (132) Davin Waldrop (138), Andrew Parish (145), Dalton Wallace (152), Nick Nyman (160), Jake Vaughn (170) and Mason Tanner (195).

Middle school competitors include Greyson James, Austin Anglin, Alex Statham, Jayce Daniel, Scott Swann, Daniel Joseph, Braxton Floyd, Jamus Wingate, Rayce Vaughn, Jarren Brinkley and Ryland Brinkley.
