American Heritage Plantation (FL)
Head Coach: David Wisdom (entering 6th season)
Staff: Matthew Burnett - Co-Head coach, Andrew Wisdom - Assistant coach, Miles Harrison - Assistant coach
Jaeden Kinlock and Stephen Levine have graduated, but AHP might be better this season than they were a year ago. The Patriots return 7 wrestlers that won matches in Region 4 a season ago and welcome in Taravella transfer Victor King (who lost in the bloodround at regions a year ago for Taravella). The Patriots will be particularly tough from 132-182 with the return of Ernest Padron Jr., Alexander Wisdom, Isaac Jacobs, Armando Wisdom, Israel Cuba, Christopher Levine, and the return of Korie Demascola who missed last season with an injury. Padron, Jacobs, as well as both Wisdom’s all make a run at regions last year and each should expect to punch their ticket this year.
Keep an eye on Diego Miranda who won multiple matches at region last year as a 6th grader at 106 … he will certainly be looking to punch his ticket as well. The Patriots have the luxury of having two solid heavyweights in Freddie and Victor King as well. The Patriots only qualified Kinlock a year ago … look for that to change in 2023 - it wouldn’t be a surprise to see 6 or 7 Patriots on the mats in March in Kissimmee.
“The 22-23 team is more experienced and ready, we are looking to be the team to beat for the 2A -5 district and 2A-4 regional duals. Many improved individual team members looking to break out of region 2A-4”
