Elmore County’s Shawn Colvin wrestled Tallassee’s Ethan Jones in the ALWCA North/South All-Star Duals Tournament held at Huntingdon College. Colvin finished his senior 17-13 overall and was a state qualifier.

Shawn Colvin’s senior wrestling season was cut short due to suffering a concussion, but he got one last chance to wrestle on Saturday.

Colvin suffered a concussion in the Super Sectionals Tournament early in February and was forced to miss the state tournament after qualifying in the 144-pound class. The Elmore County senior thought his career was over, but he got a call on Friday morning asking him to join the Alabama Wrestling Coaches Association’s second annual North/South All-Star duals tournament as a member of the South team.
