Carey Cloud is a 2011 graduate of Tucker High School.
Carey Cloud, a former Tucker High School wrestling state champion, fought his way to an eighth place finish in the NAIA National Wrestling Tournament in Des Moines, Iowa to earn All-American accolades as freshman for William Penn University.

Tigers to compete in county tournament
The DeKalb County Championships have been kind to Tucker High wrestlers. And if the Tigers compete as they hope to, this weekend's tournament should be no different. When action begins on four mats at 5 p.m. Friday at Lakeside and resumes there at 9 a.m. Saturday, the Tigers have every intention to still be in the thick of the action come the 3:30 p.m. finals. Last year, Gabriel Miller and Carey Cloud won county championships at 125 and 152 pounds, respectively, helping Tucker match Marist's two individual titles, behind Stone Mountain's tournament-high three. But that wasn't surprising, considering six Tigers captured county titles the preceding two seasons, and three Tucker competitors own three in their career. "We've got a nice dual …
