Best Senior: Zak Haynes, Tallassee

It was a long time coming but Haynes finally got his hands on the gold medal at the state tournament this season, capping his career in a perfect fashion. He continued to deal with injuries throughout his senior year but Haynes pushed through and was healthy when it mattered. Haynes finished the season 43-3 and defeated Hayden’s Evan Phillips in the Class 1A-5A championship at 126 pounds to grab his first title in six trips to the state tournament.
