The GHS wrestling team is deep into the heart of its schedule this month with the post-season looming just down the road in February. Head Coach John Kincade, assistant coach Shannon Rhea, and their volunteer coaches are busy preparing the team for a run at the conference championship and a possible state title in the weeks ahead.

In recent weeks they’ve competed at Greenbrier, Searcy, and Hot Springs. Greenwood also hosted the annual Bulldog Brawl this past weekend, featuring youth wrestlers from across the region (See photos on this page).

The Bulldogs wrestled this past Tuesday at Russellville against both Sheridan and Benton, and will travel to Greenbrier this weekend for a two-day event. They will host Russellville next Tuesday.
