8 Raptors move on to this week's TSSAA State Tournament this Thursday through Saturday at the Williamson County Ag Center by placing top four at the Girls Region and Boys Sectional Tournaments. On this boys side, it's especially terrific because this year the State tournament is 16 wrestlers, rather than 32 (as in years past), so it's now twice as difficult to qualify for state. It's a historic year for the Raptor Wrestling team!!!

Sachin Sashti—2^nd at 106 pounds
Ammr Albarati—3^rd at 113
Noah Kang—4^th at 132
Drew Dodson—2^nd at 160
Caden Kellow—3^rd at 285

Grace Buettner--3^rd at G120

Kaylen Thomas--CHAMPION at G132

Rachel Martelle--4^th at G165
