History

Collins Hill High School has established itself as one of Georgia’s elite wrestling programs. In sixteen years of existence, the history of the program includes an impressive array of individual and team achievements. Eagle wrestlers have placed (top six) over 130 times in the State Tournament, including over 30 individual State Championships. Adding to this legacy, Tyler Parker became the first wrestler in AAAAA history to win 4 Individual State Championships in 2005.

The Eagles’ 2009-10 season qualifies as perhaps the best in Georgia history. Collins Hill was crowned both Dual Meet and Traditional State Champions for the 2nd consecutive season. Strong showings in three national-level tournaments in Kansas City and Pennsylvania resulted in a top-10 ranking nationally. Additionally, Collins Hill tied their own record from the previous season by sending twelve wrestlers to the podium at the Georiga State Traditional Tournament, including 6 State Champions. The season accomplishments gave the Eagle program a #9 national ranking, the highest ever achieved by a Georgia team

Despite the loss of an outstanding senior class, the 2010-2011 team, led by Coach Stephen entered the season as the #1 ranked team in Georgia with a very tough schedule ahead of them. The Eagles won titles at the Alexander Duals, Cleveland Duals (TN), Midwest Classic (MO), Kyle Maynard Duals, and both Region 7 Championships. The team also finished 2nd to Brandon (FL) at the Cougar Invitational (FL) and had strong showings at the Powerade Invitational and Final Four both in Pennsylvania. The season ended by winning both the Georgia Dual and Traditional State Championships with another record 12 placers and 7 finals.
