Matanzas wrestler Toryion Stallings dislocated his elbow at the Knockout Christmas Classic on Dec. 21 and thought this season was over. Exactly one month later, Stallings won the 126-pound title at the Jerry Brisco Challenge on Jan. 21 in Tampa.
"Beyond proud of Toryion Stallings," Matanzas coach T.J. Gillin tweeted after the tourney. Stallings replied: "I’m thankful for my coaching staff, and they just keep my love for wrestling going everyday."
Stallings was one of five Pirates to win titles at the Brisco Challenge. Timothy McLean (106 pounds), Kaden Golder (113), Landon Wright (160) and Jordan Mills (170) also took home first-place medals as Matanzas (204.5 points) finished second behind Lithia Newsome (210.5 points) for the team title.

The Flagler Sportfishing Club and "kids4reel" has made a "substantial" donation to Belle Terry Elementary School to help support the school's new fishing club, according to a club news release.
This is the the second elementary school to join the club's kids4reel program with three more schools planned in Flagler County, according to the release.
“Teaching clinics, scholarships, tournaments and ad hoc school fishing activities have always been a part of the club,” said Captain Adam Morley, FSC's president. "But creation of the ‘kids4reel’ brand in 2022 helped us to galvanize our club members and the community around initiatives to educate our youth in the sport of fishing.”
According to the release, BTES will use the funds from the club to help pay for bait, tackle, rods/reels and gear and expenses.
Science, safety, conservation, and fishing regulations will be emphasized to the students. If you would like to help support the kids4reel program, go to https://flaglersportfishing.com/product/kids4reel.
