Ryan HallHall had been listed on the wrestling roster at Buies Creek-based Campbell for the 2014-15 season as a redshirt freshman at 157 pounds. Prior to that, Hall had wrestled in middle school and high school, qualifying for the North Carolina state wrestling championships twice for Pasquotank County High School in Elizabeth City in his junior and senior years.  In 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.” Rest of the story at https://intermatwrestle.com/articles/22017
