Hey guys!
The work continues. We are bringing back, for its seventh year, #TheSeason. We didn’t do these first year, but have ever since. It’s something nobody else does. We compile all season records and write a wrapup for each team. To get them completed more quickly, we are summarizing these a bit more than in seasons past.
Today, we are in the homestretch of Round 4 with Wewahitchka.

2020-21 Zander Laurin Warrior: Briceson Davis
- First-year starter (and capable weightlifter) for the Gators had no true practice partners on the team (next largest wrestler was at least six weight classes lower)
- Struggled during regular season to find form, with two contested pins in his first 27 matches, a stretch in which he lost 21 matches by fall
- Nevertheless, at districts, he outlasted a returning starter in the consi semis to qualify out for region tournament, extending his season another week
