The 2024 HighSchoolOT All-State Boys Wrestling Team
The fourth-annual HighSchoolOT boys wrestling all-state team features 40 athletes making an appearance on the team for the second, third, or fourth time, led by five wrestlers who became our first four-time all-state honorees.
Mallard Creek's Cameron Stinson, Fred T. Foard's Brayden Mejia, Reidsville's Rayshun James, Central Cabarrus' Charleston Baglio, and Robbinsville's Kage Williams made the team each year of their high school careers.
Stinson and Williams made history in becoming the 13th and 14th wrestlers in NCHSAA history to win four individual championships. Stinson became the third to do it while having never lost in his career.
There are six wrestlers at minimum listed with each weight class. The top two are on first team, the next two on second team, and fifth and sixth wrestlers on third team.
Then, 28 honorable mention all-state wrestlers — twice the size of a 14-wrestler starting lineup — are selected without regard to weight class (for instance, 106 pounds could have three HM all-state wrestlers, while 113 could have zero).

*-number of first-team appearances
Most wrestlers placed high on the podium at the N.C. High School Athletic Association championships with few exceptions. One wrestler from the N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association made the team, as did one undefeated wrestler who was unable to compete in the state championships and was grouped with the honorable mention selections.
The full teams are listed below, with wrestlers listed in order of team with W-L record as listed on the RankWrestlers website.
