The River Bluff wrestling team will move to the Class 5A Lower State finals of the S.C. High School League tournament.
The Gators defeated White Knoll Monday night 46-27 in The Swamp.

After the win, River Bluff head coach Evan Moxie credited his Region 5-5A rival. 
"They are a good team," Moxie said. 

The Gators also defeated the Timberwolves during the regular season. 
"It's tough to beat a team twice," Moxie said.

He also said White Knoll head coach Kyle Kimrey did a good job with his team. 

Kimrey characterized the Gators as "tough." He also said River Bluff was well-coached and it was hard for his team to match up with them. 

"They are good," hed said.

He said his team is young and learned a lot from competing in Region 5-5A.

"It's a tough region." said Kimrey, who will now turn his attention to the individual state competition. 

River Bluff will now seek to earn its 2nd state title appearance in 3 years Wednesday at home against Summerville. Moxie said he'll take Tuesday to get down to weight and "correct a couple of mistakes."
