Brevard 2023 FHSAA state wrestling qualifiers show rare feature
There have been unbeaten Brevard County high school wrestlers before.
For example, Muhammed DeReese of Titusville High won the 215-pound championship of Class 2A in 2007, finishing 27-0, and Palm Bay's Caylor Williams went 50-0 in 2009, winning the Class 3A title at 189 pounds.
Two Pirates compete in this weekend's FHSAA state tournament in Kissimmee with perfect records. They are among 48 Brevard County high schoolers competing at Silver Spurs Arena for state medals, including seven girls.

Last year, 15 Brevard County boys won medals at the state event, as did one girl. Follow updates at 321preps.com.
