It was a massive weekend across the Sunshine State and beyond. Hagerty brought together one of the deepest fields in Florida and emerged with the Johnny Rouse title, finishing ahead of South Dade, Lake Gibson, Southwest Miami, and a loaded field, while Cocoa Beach handled business on the girls side. Up in in the panhandle, Jesuit stood tall at the Ryan Blackwell Invitational, holding off strong challenges from Archbishop Rummel (LA), Smiths Station (AL), Gulf Breeze, and others. Back south, Palm Harbor University continued its hot streak by winning the Fit2Win Ryan Vaught Memorial on its home mats over Harmony and Doral Academy, Douglas captured the 46th Annual Palm Beach Christmas Classic, Charlotte powered past Wellington and the rest of the field to win the Gene Gorman Showcase Duals, and Wellington girls traveled south to claim the It’s In My DNA Invitational over host North Miami.
And that only scratches the surface. There were major tournaments and duals happening everywhere across the state. Scroll below for full coverage — team champions, individual finals, top scorers, Gorriaran Award winners, and our picks for the Hammers of the event.
NOTES:
Top Scorers: Those wrestlers that accumulated the most team points in the event.
Gorriaran Award: Named for Manuel Gorriaran.
He is best known for his insistence on the fall as the ultimate goal of amateur wrestling, and for inaugurating an award given at tournaments everywhere, the Gorriaran Trophy for the wrestler scoring the most falls in the least total time.
How we define a “hammer” at an event isn’t limited to dominance alone. It might be the wrestler who delivers in the biggest moments, sparks their team in a pivotal dual, or outperforms their seed when it matters most. A hammer can even take a loss—sometimes the truest measure is battling back, grinding through the bracket, and fighting your way to third after an early setback.

3A District 2 Duals
Top seed Flagler Palm Coast opened their District Duals with a bye, while Lake Mary, Deland, and Buchholz had to battle through the first round. Lake Mary rolled past Ocala Forest 52–22, Deland handled University (Orange City) 51–27, and Buchholz cruised to a 69–11 win over West Port.
In the semifinals, Flagler Palm Coast flexed their depth and firepower—closing the dual with five straight bonus-point wins to pull away from Lake Mary, 54–19. Buchholz was equally dominant in the other semi, posting a 70–5 win over Deland to set up the highly anticipated showdown between the top two seeds.
Flagler came out firing in the final. Three quick bonus-point victories—two of them falls—put the Bulldogs up 17–0 before Buchholz got on the board. Jayden Pineda answered with a 15–0 tech fall for the Bobcats, but Flagler countered with a win at 132 and a pin at 138 to extend the margin to 26–5 after six bouts.
Then came the Buchholz surge. Aiden St. Clair sparked the rally with a pin at 144, and teammates Prince Fortuna-Abdullah, Stefan Behrmann, and Dylan Leamon stacked three straight decisions to close the gap to 26–20.
Flagler, however, steadied the ship. Joseph Foalima delivered a crucial 11–0 major at 175, and Doyvonne Leadon followed with an 8–4 decision at 190, pushing the lead to 33–20—a margin Buchholz could no longer overcome. Still, the Bobcats finished strong: Braedon McGuigan earned a fall at 215, and Daryl Godbolt edged Aidan Korth 1–0 at heavyweight to make it 33–29, but the comeback fell just short.
In the end, the two teams each claimed seven match wins—but Flagler’s bonus points were the difference, securing them the District Dual title.
Top Scorers (each team):
Buchholz - Braedon McGuigan (16 pts)
Deland - Kaiden Olavarria (22 pts)
Flagler Palm Coast - Joseph Dailey and Lenny Fries (12 pts)

Gorriaran Award: Caden Laravuso of Lake Mary (3 falls in 11:28)
Hammer(s): Joseph Foalima and Deyvonne Leadon delivered two massive wins at the back end of the championship dual. Their bonus-point major and clutch decision not only halted Buchholz’s momentum but ultimately secured Flagler Palm Coast the district title.

2025 Johnny Rouse Invitational at Hagerty
What an event at Hagerty, with pool play setting the stage for an absolute gauntlet in the championship rounds.
The Blue Pool belonged to South Dade, who rolled past Riverdale (46-23), Winter Springs (51-19), and Hagerty B (69-11). Winter Springs secured second place by edging Riverdale 43-33. In the Black Pool, Lake Gibson flexed its depth with dominant wins over Ft. Myers (64-10) and Lake Howell (77-6), then survived a tight battle with Hagerty 42-36. Hagerty still advanced in second. The Silver Pool was controlled by Southwest Miami, who overwhelmed New Smyrna Beach (68-6), Satellite (83-0), and George Jenkins (71-6). New Smyrna Beach grabbed the runner-up spot with a 39-23 win over George Jenkins.
That set up a loaded championship pool, and from there, chaos took over. Hagerty, despite finishing second in its pool, caught fire and went unbeaten—knocking off New Smyrna Beach (57-20), Southwest Miami (34-32), Winter Springs (38-35), and South Dade (47-31) to claim the top spot. Southwest Miami finished second overall, powered by convincing wins over Winter Springs (65-8), South Dade (39-28), and Lake Gibson (42-24). It was a wild, high-level team battle from start to finish, and Hagerty rose to the moment on its home mats.

Chase Wolgamuth (Hagerty) finished 6-1 and delivered the defining moment of the tournament. After an early one-point loss (to Hackett of Lake Gibson), Wolgamuth rebounded with three wins before stepping into the spotlight in the championship dual against Southwest Miami. With Hagerty trailing 32-30 heading into the final bout, Wolgamuth rose to the occasion, scoring a decisive 14-6 major decision to flip the dual and clinch the team title.
Antonio Cordoves (Southwest Miami) may have gone 5-2, but his impact was massive. His fall at 190 against South Dade proved to be one of the most important swings of the weekend, helping Southwest Miami secure a statement win over their rival and solidifying their run to a runner-up finish.

Jake Austin – Charlotte Gold - Austin may have been the best wrestler in the entire building—an 8–0 wrecking ball who pinned every single opponent he faced. Austin tore through a strong field, stacking falls against Naples, SWFL Christian, Lely, Bonita Springs, Southridge, Jensen Beach, Port Charlotte, and Wellington. He was explosive, clinical, and unchallenged throughout, delivering maximum team points and setting the tone for Charlotte’s championship performance.

After decking Shanelle Sison in the quarterfinals, she pinned Lincoln’s Julia Peña in just one minute, then capped the run with a dominant finals fall over Osceola’s Disney Diaz. A flawless postseason-style performance.
Rome Robinson – Osceola (Kissimmee)
Robinson showed impressive resilience after getting pinned in the opening round. She regrouped, flipped the script in Round 2 with a fall of her own, and then sealed the title by pinning Washington a second time—this one even faster.
Lola Jones – Fletcher
Jones delivered one of the most complete performances of the tournament at 110. She opened with a high-paced 15–9 win, then followed with three straight pins—each quicker than the last. Jones controlled every position and finished the day 4–0, establishing herself as one of the most dominant lightweights in the field.
Deltona Duals
Six teams entered District round-robin action, and Oviedo emerged as the clear champion, grinding through a competitive slate of duals. The Lions picked up dominant wins over Orange Park (66–12), Lyman (58–24), University (Orange City) (48–36), and Deltona (65–12). The title ultimately came down to their matchup with East River, where Oviedo secured a hard-fought 47–33 victory to finish a perfect 5–0.
East River claimed runner-up honors, and their opening-round 47–36 win over University (Orange City) proved decisive in separating 2nd from 3rd. Orange Park finished 4th, Lyman 5th, and Deltona rounded out the standings in 6th.

Their trio of falls helped the Lions explode out to a commanding 35–9 lead, and from there Oviedo never looked back. The momentum they created in the opening stretch paved the way for the Lions to secure the dual — and the overall round-robin title.

Pool D was the most competitive, as Belen Jesuit edged Coral Gables by a point, slipped past Coral Reef, and then pulled away from Nova to advance.
In the championship bracket, Miami Palmetto continued its surge, knocking off Belen Jesuit in the semifinals before Homestead outlasted Hialeah Gardens on the other side. The finals were all Palmetto, as they won the first five bouts, surrendered only a single forfeit, and then rattled off six more wins to cruise to a decisive 65–12 championship victory.

Alex Morales (Miami Sunset)
Morales went a perfect 4-0 with a balanced mix of offense and composure. He opened with a major decision, followed by two falls, and capped his run with a gritty 6-5 decision over Miami Palmetto in what was his toughest test of the weekend.
Rafael Scott (Belen Jesuit)

Yakes rolled through the field with a series of falls before turning it up another level in the final rounds, tech-falling Juan Salas in the semis and Brady Jackson in the finals. A perfect run highlighted by constant pressure and bonus points throughout.
William “Baker” Harvey (Wakulla HS) navigated a tough path to the top with a blend of scoring ability and composure.

In the Stripes Pool, Mariner was dominant, rolling past Cardinal Mooney (70–10), Palmetto Ridge (60–24), and Golden Gate (66–6), with Palmetto Ridge claiming the runner-up spot. In the championship dual, clutch performances from Everett Stephens (120), Lukah Zherka (126), and Zane Walker (138) proved to be the difference, as Aubrey Rogers edged Mariner 33–24 to secure the team title (there seems to be missing results - but we assume it was a final).

Middleburg dominated its semifinal with a 68–12 win over Columbia, while Lincoln had to grind out a tough 44–29 victory against a determined Chiles squad.
The finals, however, were all Middleburg. The Broncos came out firing, winning the first 11 straight matches and never allowing Lincoln to gain any momentum. Middleburg cruised to a 72–6 victory to claim the District 2 championship in emphatic fashion.

Ridgeview - Garrett Davis, Julio Azoy, Pedro Vera, and Tanner Rogers (12 pts)
Gorriaran Award: Cyler Robinson of Columbia (4 falls in 8:15)
Hammer(s): Hard to single out just one hammer from the dominant Middleburg lineup, so we’re going with their entire group of top scorers. Jonathan Harp, Terry Milam, Micah Thomas, Sean Blouin, Keensdee Roseme, and Destin Watson were all fantastic in the run to the District 2 title, each delivering exactly what Middleburg needed. More will be expected from this core as the Broncos look to contend for a Region 1 championship.
