Unless an alternate is needed at 285 pounds, the Hillsboro and McClain wrestling teams will not be represented at the 2021 Ohio High School Athletic Association Wrestling Championships.

The only wrestler from either team to place at the district tournament held Friday and Saturday at Gallia Academy High School was McClain senior Kade Rawlins, who finished fifth at 285 pounds. He would serve as an alternate if one is needed.

Rawlins entered the district undefeated and finished the season with a record of 24-2.

The top four wrestlers in each weight class at the district qualify for the state tournament.
