This week’s Cedar Ridge Red Wolf of the Week is junior wrestler Kaden Tatro. This season, Kaden has started 22-0 with 16 pins. In the Red Wolf Invitational, Tatro won the 182-pound championship of the Red Wolf Invitational on November 19 at Cedar Ridge Gymnasium. Last season, Tatro qualified for the 3A State Championships at 170 pounds after he finished in fourth place at the 3A Mideast Regionals. As a freshman, Tatro missed qualifying for the state championships by one match at 160 pounds. He finished his freshman year 19-6, which was a heavily pared down season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. If he had a standard-length freshman season, Tatro would likely surpass 100 wins this year. Last week, he won all four of his matches in the Red Wolf Duals via pinfall. He also won dual matches against defending Central Carolina Conference champion Orange and Chapel Hill. Tatro also won all of his matches during the Duals on November 3 in Raleigh. Cedar Ridge will continue its season on Wednesday when they face Eastern Alamance, Greensboro Dudley and Sanderson in a quad match at Cedar Ridge High. Kaden’s goal this year is to reach the state championships in February and place in his weight class.
