Hillsborough's McCray Ready To Be A Force

Hillsborough High heavyweight Moses McCray made his return to the wrestling mat last weekend, and if the results were any indication, he's going to be a force this season.

McCray, a Terriers football standout who has verbally committed to Florida State, went 5-0 with five pins in the first period - including one in 11 seconds - at the Raiders Duals in Plant City on Saturday, Coach Mike Patrick said.

"He's excited to be back," Patrick said of McCray.

McCray improved his record to 6-0 on Tuesday with a pin against Plant City's Eddie Rosenbaum, but was scheduled to face his toughest challenge of the season to date Wednesday against Newsome's Connor O'Neil, who went 8-0 last weekend at the NHSCA Sunshine Invitational at Brandon, the only non-Brandon county wrestler to go unbeaten at the tournament.

Patrick believes McCray, who finished sixth in the Class 2A state tournament last season, is good enough to challenge for a state title.
