Wrestling update for December 7, 2017 As I continue to try to find the optimum audio settings for my podcast. We'll get there.. Good morning, this is your high school wrestling update from the Orlando Sentinel for Thursday, December 7, 2017 – My name is Brant Parsons – and I wish I had more sound-engineer training. Let’s see what happened last night. In the big matchup on the night between Class 2A powers, Jensen Beach continued their early season gauntlet against Olympic Heights. The 4<sup>th</sup>-ranked Barracudas won 8 of the 12 contested bouts and it was enough to beat the 7<sup>th</sup>-ranked Lions 34-32. Chad Nix’ 8-3 win over Troy Jaffy at 195 pounds put the dual away for Jensen Beach. Clay, the second-ranked team in Class 1A, easily dispatched of Robert E. Lee 74-to-6. SW Miami, which moved to No. 3 in Class 3A, easily handled Miami Jackson, winning all but two of the matches contested to win 59-24. In our coverage area, Timber Creek picked up five pins to knock off Oviedo 45-21. Getting wins by fall was Ernesto Maysonet, Corban Arana, Gersan Serrano, Mateus Nunes and Jacob Schalk. Winter Park edged Jones 41-to-35. Up north, Bishop Kenny finished with two straight wins to edge Creekside 35-33 with Jack Delaney and Jack Donghit sealing the win. Gainesville Buchholz topped Columbia 36-32. Lawrence Smith-Jackson, Nevan Burney and Aaron Mended went 3-for-3 for pins at the heaviest three weight classes to rally the Bobcats and then lock up the victory. Paxon topped Florida School for Deaf and Blind 42-33 with F-S-D-B doubling up Raines 48-24. Tate handled Milton with a 66-18 win and Ridgeview knocked off Palatka 65-6 with Episcopal topping Wolfson 42-36.
