Who is the Midlands’ high school Wrestler of the Year? Vote now
High school wrestling wrapped up last month around South Carolina.
The State is asking you to vote for the area’s high school wrestler of the year.
Voting runs through noon on March 25 and will be announced with the area’s all-wrestling team for 2023-24. (This is meant to be fun and not intended to be scientific.)
