On February 20-21, the Chapin Eagles visited Westminster, SC for the Upper State Tournament and returned home with 5 State Qualifiers. The Eagles were lead by First-Place finishers Paul Collingwood at 120 pounds who used a combination strength, quickness, and intelligent wrestling to earn a tense, hard-fought decision, and Trent Hodges at 195 pounds who used quick thinking and cat-like reflexes to record his victory with a pin. Taylor Cabe (126 pounds), Nick Martini (160 pounds), and Austin Jeffords (285 pounds) all earned Fourth-Place finishes. Chapin was one of only two schools to qualify wrestlers in all 14 weight classifications for Upper State.

The State Tournament will be held on February 27-28 in Anderson, SC where eight wrestlers from each weight class will square off to battle for the title of State Champion. Go Eagles.

The unseasonably cold weather has really put a strain on spring teams as they battle low temps and fierce winds.

Changes to schedules this week include:

Varsity Baseball Scrimmage vs. Irmo moved from Thursday night 2/19 to Saturday Afternoon 2/21 at 1 pm

Varsity Girls and JV Girls Soccer Scrimmage scheduled for Thursday night 2/19 cancelled.

Please stay tuned for more updates.

The Upper State Individual tournament will include the 16 top
wrestlers from 4 regions and will be a significant test as the pyramid narrows quickly
near the top. The tournament will be held in Seneca on February 20-21. The top four
finishers will qualify for the State Finals on February 27-28.
