The Forrest Rockets’ wrestling team is coming off a successful 2017 season that produced one state title, two runners-up, plus one third, fourth, fifth, and sixth-place medalist at the TSSAA State Wrestling Tournament in February.

Jeff Gross, Wesley McCoy, Cole Geeting, Austin Getting, Nick McClendon, Drew Carlisle, Bryton Spitzley, and Cody Donnelly were the eight at state last season as Gross led the way, capturing back-to-back state and region titles in 2017.

Carlisle and McCoy both won region titles and runner-up finishes at state, while McClendon and Cole Geeting also won region titles at Sequatchie County High School.

The Rockets won the Region 3A-AA team title and had their best ever finish at the state tournament when they finished in second place behind Gibbs.

Austin Geeting, Carlisle, Spitzley, and Donnelly all graduated, but the Rockets are off to 6-3 record in dual matches this season.

Forrest wrestled Marshall County High School last night and host the Rocket Rumble on Saturday.

Below are some of the results from this season and individual records.
