Wrestlers test their mettle at tournament

January 23, 2019 By Special to The Laker/Lutz News

Wrestlers from several Tampa Bay area schools took part in the Bill Combs JV Invitational wrestling tournament on Jan. 15, at Sunlake High School, 3023 Sunlake Blvd., in Land O’ Lakes. Both female and male wrestlers competed. The tournament is sponsored by Bill Combs, of Brooksville, who is a National Wrestling Hall of Famer and Florida wrestling advocate. The competition is in its third year, and Sergio Matos, Sunlake’s wrestling coach and former student of Combs, is the event’s organizer.

Fourteen-year-old Caitlyn Davis, a freshman at Land O’ Lakes High School, left, and her 16-year-old teammate Natalie Hall, do stretches before the wrestling tournament begins. Davis and Hall were among several females competing, often against members of the opposite sex. Wrestling requires athletes to prove themselves, Davis said. ‘It’s a lot of hard work.’
