This past week, wrestlers all over the state began their fight for the State podium. Only the top 4 from each District advance to compete at Regionals to continue their fight for the opportunity to advance to States. Hernando County is represented in both Division 1A and 2A and with Districts behind us. Hernando County has 37 grapplers advancing to Regional competition. Leading the county with a total of 14 grapplers advancing to Regionals is Hernando High School in division 1A-D6, making Hernando High School 5 time consecutive District Champions.
Also advancing from 1A-D6 is Central High School with 6, Weeki Wachee High School with 4, and Nature Coast High School with 3. Hernando County’s lone 2A-D8 District representative, Springstead High School, would conclude the week advancing 9 grapplers.
