Fletcher (FL)

Head Coach: Joseph Stetzer

Staff: Janet Davis

Girls have been competing in Florida a long time … but the recently sanctioned sport is paying big dividends in programs that have not traditionally had a ton of girls competing. A good example of that is Fletcher. The Senators didn’t have a program a season ago, but Coach Stetzer and Coach Davis have pulled together a solid group ready to get to work this season.

Five freshmen to keep an eye right off the bat include Marina Andrews (115), Nicole Anderson (120), Finn Arthur (125), Milani Turner (190), and Hailee Henslee (235). Other Senators to watch include Olivia Hewitt, Emma Milan, Cheyanna Ocon, Tanaya Matthews, Cloe Vila, Gabriella Perez and Nicole Ingle. This will be a young squad that will continue to develop as they gain more mat time … it will be interesting to see where they end up - not only at the end of this season, but in a few years.

“As we launch our Girls team we are looking forward to building the team and competing. Our girls are eager to learn and prove themselves. The program is bright as we get started.”

— Coach Stetzer

Tenoroc (FL)

The Titans finished just inside the top 25 in 2022 and given what they return this is a team that will look to not only climb into the top 20, but could push for a spot in the top 10. This is a team that will rely on their senior leadership - especially returning State Placers Darian Gillins and Kris Hunter as well as State Qualifier Branden Coleman. Gillins and Hunter will look to climb to the top step in Kissimmee and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Titans with 3 very high on the podium in 2023.

The key to the Titans pushing for a top 10 spot will be the continued development of Isia Riveria Coerderro and Asher Nestor. Both competed at regionals a year ago and both will look to punch their ticket to Kissimmee this season. Keep an eye on Killian Watson, Nehamiah Hooper, Raf Paz, and transfer Jocelyn Brodrick … each will look to make an impact this season.

“We have added strength and size this summer! We are led by our 3 Senior SQ from last year. Kris Hunter 126 7th place, DJ Gillins 220 3rd place and Branden Coleman. 120 2x SQ. We were extremely young last year (9 1st year wrestlers in the line up) as we only lost 2 experienced seniors. If we continue to trust the process we can be a top 10 team in the state by seasons end. With multiple state medals again and maybe the schools first State Champ”

Coral Springs Charter (FL)

Head Coach: Erik Perez (entering 3rd season)

Staff: Pete Derstine, Stefan Silver

CSC finished 25th in 1A a year ago and although they lose several to graduation and State Placer Michael Mocco to transfer - the Panthers should be back in the mix again in 2022-23. Peter Mocco, Jaiden Valentin, Preston Lindsay, Hunter Perez, and Keon Taylor all won matches in a tough 1A Region 4 a year ago and each will look to take that next step and punch their ticket to Kissimmee this season. Eduard Shmandura, Logan Bosworth and Brayden Derstine have been working extremely hard this off-season and will play key roles in the teams success this season.

Keep an eye on Abundant Life Christian Academy transfer Elijah Perez who could make some noise down low for the Panthers this season. Owyn Vargas and Simon Sanchez also return. CSC has to run the gauntlet of 1A Region 4, but they have several hammers in the lineup and will look to break into the top 15-20 in 2023.

“Coach Perez and CSC return a solid squad that will look to make some noise in Class 1A this season. They do lose State Placer Michael Mocco to transfer and Griffin Perko, Brock Wilson, Andrew Lustigman and Hannah Mader to graduation. However, they return a solid squad that could be even better in 2022-2023. Keon Taylor, Preston Lindsay and Hunter Perez will lead the way and they all should be hunting a spot to go to the State tournament this season. Peter Mocco- a 7th Grader with a ton of experience and Elijah Perez a transfer should both make some noise this season.”
