Girls high school wrestling in Florida - Episode 21
Working The Edge: High School Wrestling in Florida
With the girls state wrestling championship taking place this weekend, we talk about the growth of the sport in Florida.
info_outlineI’m baaack. This is your high school wrestling update from the Orlando Sentinel for Monday, January 29, 2018 – My name is Brant Parsons – and my podcast did not win a Grammy last night.
We’ve hit the stretch run of the season and this past weekend gave us a showcase of big I-B-Ts.
Take a big inhale – and let’s go.
Let’s start with the Tri-County Invitational at Olympic Heights that saw Fleming Island come in and show the “tri-counties” how it’s done.
The Golden Eagles outscored runner-up Miami Columbus by 100 points.
Louis Gagliardo, Briar Jackson, Paul Detwiler and Ryan Smenda all won titles for the second-ranked team in Class 3A.
The top five was filled with top-10 3A teams with Southwest Miami, Hagerty and Wellington going 3-through-5.
South Dade, the top-ranked team in 3A, took its dual show on the road and dominated the North Bay Haven Bash, giving up just 27 points in 8 duals.
Palm Harbor University – No. 3 in 3A – took home the title at the Live Greco Invitational ahead of Riverview and Kissimmee Osceola.
Lake Gibson, the top-ranked 2A team was off, while No. 2 Riverdale made more history in Southwest Florida.
The Raiders won their 14th consecutive Lee County title, nearly doubling the point total of runner-up Ft. Myers.
Are you keeping up with all of this? There will be a quiz at the end.
The top team in 1A was off too with second-ranked Clay winning the crown at the Flagler Rotary tournament. Springstead, Winter Springs, Palm Coast and Wakulla rounded out the top five.
Somerset was the top team at George Jenkins, turning a big semifinal round where the Panthers went 6-0 into the first IBT title of the season.
Cardinal Gibbons won another B-C-A-A title, outdistancing Cypress Bay and St. Thomas for the crown.
And now the home stretch…
Other winners this weekend were Brandon at Diamondback Duals, Mulberry at the Charlie Dart Invitational, Venice at the Venice Duals, American Heritage Delray Beach at Eaglemania Duals and Atlantic Coast at Terry Parker Duals.
Locally, Apopka rode five individual champions to the title at the Wolfpack Invitational and Oviedo won the school’s first tournament in over 7 years with a win at Ships and Duels at Palm Bay.
And I lied, I’m too tired for a quiz but you can check out the results from all of these tournaments and more at OrlandoSentinel.com/wrestling.
