Ryan HallIn his recruiting profile for North Carolina Sports Association, Hall wrote, "I've been wrestling since 7th grade. I was not always the best wrestler back then but I was determined to succeed… I plan on attending a four-year college and studying business because I want to own my own sporting goods store someday."
Hall had a high school career record of 101-29.
"He was my best friend," Malik Hurdle told the Raleigh News & Observer Friday. "He was someone I could depend on no matter what. He was a light shining so bright he touched everybody he came into contact with. I really can't believe he's gone."
