Wrestling State Championship

The New Smyrna Beach High School Wrestling team made history this past week.  We had 2 wrestlers win state championships for the first since 1998.  Jonathan Bruner won a state championship in the 144-pound division, and Kyle Nilsson won a state championship in the 215-pound division.  It was definitely a great weekend to be a Barracuda!  In the words of our principal, Tim Merrick, “Nobody has it better than us”!
