The Owensboro Times is announcing its 2026 Boys’ Wrestling All-OT Team, featuring wrestlers from high schools in our coverage area. We are also announcing the Boys’ Wrestler of the Year finalists, who will all be invited to an awards ceremony where the winner will be announced in May.
(Editor’s Note: Owensboro Times will host a sports awards ceremony in May 2026, when the Player of the Year winners for fall, winter, and spring sports will all be announced. More details on that ceremony will be announced at a later date, and invitations will be sent directly to players/their families.)
Schools in Owensboro Times’ coverage area include Apollo, Daviess County, Hancock County, McLean County, Owensboro, Owensboro Catholic, and Trinity.
OT relied primarily on nominations/votes by coaches to determine the All-OT Team and the Wrestler of the Year finalists/winner.
