Bricks and Benches

Here is your chance to leave your mark at Southern Garrett High School by purchasing an engraved brick paver or having your name attached to one of three custom built benches!

Our Bricks and Benches Seating Area at the main gym entrance at SGHS
We are very excited about our Bricks and Benches fundraising project.  It takes a lot of money to run a top notch program and the amount we receive from the BOE every year is never enough.  We must rely on this amazing community for support.  This project not only allows us to raise funds, but also offers our community the opportunity to advertise businesses and to honor Southern High School athletes, students, faculty members and friends (past and present) in a variety of ways.  The engraved paver seating area will be located at the main gym entrance at Southern High School.  This area sees enormous traffic on a daily basis and will provide excellent exposure for you and/or your business.

Add your name to one of these custom benches!
 Please consider helping us by becoming a sponsor.  There are many levels from which to choose and all money raised (in excess of construction costs) will be used to sustain our wrestling program at it's current high level.  We also hope to be able to develop a scholarship program for college-bound wrestlers.  Construction will take place this summer, with the help of former and current wrestlers and coaches and will be complete before school restarts in August.
Sample $50 Commemorative Paver
For more information or if you would like us to mail you copies of the sign-up form, call Coach Taylor at 301-616-3855 of email at dave@greenacres4u.com.  Thank you in advance for your support.

Please fill out this form and send it back as soon as possible.

Regional Rumble

Senior Devan Hamrick, 2016 Regional Champion!
The 1A/2A West Regional tournament was held for the first time ever in Garrett County on Saturday.  The Southern Rams and the Northern Huskies co-hosted the event at the Garrett College CARC and the action was fierce.  The Rams had 10 wrestlers competing and the Huskies brought 8 to this annual event that features 19 teams from Carroll, Frederick, Washington, Allegany and Garrett counties.  The top four place winners at Regionals punch their ticket to the State Tournament which will be held next weekend in Upper Marlboro, MD.  The stakes were high and the competition was outstanding.
Junior Brison Dixon, state qualifier
Competing for Southern were freshmen Nate Tasker, Jace Guy and Hunter Park.  They were joined by sophomores Jake Sweitzer and Joey Embleton and juniors Brison Dixon and Jimmy Schwab.  Rounding out our squad were seniors Devan Hamrick, Corey Horner and Bernie Sislo.
Defending state champion led the Rams with three wins on the afternoon, capturing his second straight regional title.  In the final round, Hamrick won a tight 1-0 decision over Josh Paige for the state champion Middletown Knights to earn his spot on top of the podium.
Dixon, Sweitzer, Guy and Schwab all reached the semi final round with big quarter-final wins before facing defeat and dropping into the consolation bracket.  Dixon, Sweitzer and Schwab all won two straight matches to capture third place in their respective brackets and earn their spot in next week's state tournament.  Tasker fought back after a first round loss to win two straight bouts to qualify for states as well, ultimately finishing in 4th place.  Jace Guy placed fifth in the regional tournament and is an alternate for states.
3rd place finisher, Jake Sweitzer
