About the series
During this unprecedented time, I wanted to take a moment and celebrate the best of our best in the wrestling community – the 2020 state champions.
Each day over the next few weeks, I will feature one of our state champions – both boys and girls – from this past season.
Note: I have sent a request to every coach of a state champion for their wrestler(s) to fill out. I know in this crazy time of social distancing, that not all communication is easy, if you are a state champion and have not received the questions, please contact me at bparsons@orlandosentinel.com.
