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 4th-ranked Barracudas won 8 of the 12 contested bouts and it was enough to beat the 7th-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.
