Novak Porter was a freshman at Fishburne Military School in search of a winter sport. He tried basketball, but decided quickly that wasn’t for him. Then he ran into the man known around campus as Coach C. “I said, Coach C, tell me about wrestling. He said, Porter, I’ll tell you right now. It’s a sport that will kick your butt,” said Porter, now a senior and four-year member of the FMS wrestling program.

The clinic went off well, with the Caissons working with more than 50 Y youth-basketball players in a two-hour session. That was it as far as obligations go.

The night started out with The Caissons taking to the mat against Virginia Episcopal School in a VIC showdown prior to the VIC Championships next weekend (9 Feb). Also during this a lone Miller School Wrestler would slip in and wrestle his match as VES did not have anyone at 138 pound. So it started with Brandon Allen taking his forfeit from VES then Pinning the Miller wrestler for the win over Miller School, and start the onslaught over VES. When it was all said and done the team stepped up big again with a 72 -12 win over VIC Rival VES, this moved the team’s record to 18 – 2 on the season.
