After a disappointing 2024-25 wrestling season, Heritage set out to restore its status as a gritty, hard-nosed team. On Monday, the Panthers showed they’re on the path to bring that back, winning the 2A-13 district duals title.

“Sebastian River has a similar philosophy to us and Tom’s a fantastic coach,” Heritage coach Jeff Degginger said. “To regain the title from them was a big step in the right direction.”

Wakulla’s William Harvey continued his great start to the season with a tournament win at the Ryan Blackwell Invitational and that performance earned him the Reader’s Choice Wrestler of the Week honor.

So far this season, the senior 126-pounder has beaten a Georgia state finalist and has multiple wins against highly-ranked Florida opponents.
