Matt suffered an injury early on in the season and wrestled the better part of the season with it. He is 100% healed, has been pain-free and wrestling great to date.

But they came together to etch their own notch in Cary history going undefeated and winning both dual team and state finals again. Cary was ranked #4 in the Southeast. This team won the prestigious Tiger Classic for the third year in a row. 10 wrestlers, including Matt, were named all-conference, won its 16th straight Regional title and advanced 9 wrestlers to state finals.
