Rheanna Walker will be the first Hopkinsville High wrestler to compete in the KHSAA Girls State Tournament following a fourth-place finish at the region on Saturday.

She opened with a win over South Warren’s Elizabeth Ward with a pin.

Walker lost to Caldwell County’s T.J. Goodwin by a pin in the quarterfinals which dropped her to the consolation bracket.
