A year ago, Dothan’s Garrett Holland just missed qualifying for the AHSAA state wrestling meet, seeded just one spot behind the required top 16 in a seeded-qualifying format because of COVID-19.
This year, he made sure he wasn’t left out of the state party.
He bounced back to earn a second-period pin over Baker’s Deantonio Davis, 3:21 into the match, to move into the third-place match. He lost to Thompson’s Nathan Black 7-4, but he had already earned his top four finish and a trip to state. After a .500 season last year, Holland said he increased his workouts in the summer in preparation for his senior season. It has paid off with a 23-4 record as he enters the state meet.
If he wins, he faces the winner of Smiths Station’s Peterson versus Vestavia Hills’ Trey Saunders match. If he loses, he faces the loser in an elimination match.
