This week’s Orange Panther of the Week is 126-pound junior wrestler Kessel Summers. Over the weekend, Summers won two matches in the 3A State Wrestling Championships at the Greensboro Coliseum. In the opening match, Summers pinned Havelock’s Nate Lucia in 5:52. In the consolation round, Summers defeated Northside-Jacksonville’s Josh Myers via pinfall in 2:20. Summers ends the year 42-14. Last year, Summers qualified for the state championships at 113 pounds. In his sophomore season, Summers went 39-14 with 17 pins. Next year, Summers will start his senior year with 97 career wins. Summers won a Orange Person Athletic Conference championship in his 8th grade year at Stanford Middle School. Now that wrestling season has ended, Summers will return to the weight room and focus on returning to the state championship once again next year as the Orange wrestling team looks to return to the top of the Big 8 Conference.
