Poquoson's Jared Goodson Wins Peninsula Boys Wrestler of the Year

NEWPORT NEWS, VA --- On the strength of an unprecedented four state titles, Poquoson's Jared Goodson, one of the top wrestlers in Hampton Roads, and the state, has won the top spot in Virginia Peninsula Sports' inaugural All-Peninsula wrestling team.

Goodson, dominating all comers at the 132-pound weight class, posted a 36-2 mark this season to help the Islanders repeat as VHSL Class 2 champions. A whopping 33 of his wins were by bonus points. For his career, Goodson checked in with a career record of 146-16 (124 by bonus points) and 87 pins. He is a four-time All-Bay Rivers, All-Region and All-State wrestling champion, and will continue his grappling career with the Keydets of Virginia Military Institute.

After beating the previous #2 (Drew Roggie of St. Christopher's) and #3 (Luca Schinelli of Class 6 champion Grassfield) state ranked wrestlers at 132 pounds in the same month, Goodson finished as the state's top-ranked wrestler for that weight classification, according to Virginia Wrestling.
