Defending state champions

Grassfield (Class 6), Cox (Class 5) and Poquoson (Class 2) all earned first-place trophies at last year’s Virginia High School League championships. Most of the wrestlers from the three teams are returning, adding to the high expectations for this season. Last year, Hampton Roads teams produced 19 individual VHSL state champions, along with two in the Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association with Luke Murray (Peninsula Catholic, 165 pounds) and Townsend Winans (Cape Henry Collegiate, 175) winning crowns. Eleven of the 20 return, including all four of Poquoson’s gold medalists from Class 2: Kam Harrell (106), Jared Goodson (132), Bryan Latta (144), Reed Booth (150). Tatiana Denig of Tallwood won a state crown at the girls VHSL tournament at 107.
