Smith-Cotton High School senior Josiah Oliver has accepted an athletic scholarship to wrestle and play sprint football at Quincy University.

Oliver, the son of Tabitha Barbour and Anthony Ross, is a four-year varsity letterman in wrestling for S-C and a three-year letterman in Tigers football. On the wrestling mat, he was a two-year captain for the team, racking up more than 100 wins in his career and claiming a Greco State Championship.

Joe Hulsey, Smith-Cotton wrestling head coach, said: “Josiah is a great student athlete. He always shows up and works hard in anything he chooses to do. He has a huge heart and will be successful at anything he wants to do. It has been an honor to coach him the past three years and I look forward to seeing what he does next.”
