Creating a free summer workshop for wrestlers in Hall County was a ‘no-brainer’, says Flowery Branch coach Shane Millwood. The Hall County Wrestling Coalition, now in its second year, is a free, three-day clinic for wrestlers from most county programs and Gainesville High and provides varied instruction from many local coaches.The ultimate goal, along with improving technique and introducing new moves, is to promote the growth of wrestling in the region and inform wrestlers about the history of the sport in the county. “We’re hoping that it will help grow the sport and bring the local schools closer together, even though they’re competitive during the year,” Millwood said.
