“One of the greatest things that has ever happened to the sport of high school wrestling in the state of Florida is the day Brant Parsons decided to write about it. I have been very blessed to have a highly successful wrestling program in the state for the past 28 years but have never been quite satisfied with the coverage the world’s oldest and greatest sport receives here in Florida, that was until Brant arrived on the scene. This may sound extremely biased but there is not another high school sport that is as demanding as wrestling. I believe Brant Parsons recognizes this and gives our great sport the attention and recognition it deserves. He is a knowledgeable journalist that truly cares about giving our wrestlers the spotlight they have earned and provides a platform that the parents, fans and wrestlers not only enjoy but seek out year in and year out. Brant puts in countless hours writing outstanding articles, rankings, predictions and wrestling results that wrestling fans crave. I am a huge Brant Parsons fan and cannot imagine a wrestling season without him being a huge part of it.”

“As a head wrestling coach for over a decade, I’ve not met a bigger champion of the sport than Brant Parsons. His coverage is not only superb for high school athletics, but should serve as an exemplar for sportscasters at every level. His passion, integrity, and vested interest in every aspect of the wrestling community has set him apart. In a time when mainstream media continues to be criticized, Brant is a beacon of hope for a sport that is often overlooked and under appreciated. From in-depth and detailed rankings to untold stories of successes and setbacks, he is the knowledgeable and compassionate voice that wrestling needs.”
