Porter ready for final run
Carl Albert’s Jared Porter would like to wax nostalgic about his high school wrestling career, but the senior doesn’t have much time for that these days.
The 145 pound Porter will be competing in the Class 5A West regional at Deer Creek Friday and Saturday. Porter already has won state title, but he’d like another before he heads off to wrestle at Central Michigan.
“It’s a little bittersweet because I’m going to miss wrestling here but I’m prepared to move on,” Porter said.
But not without another state title. Porter has one loss this season, and that came to Sallisaw’s Jeremy Davenport who will be wrestling for his third Class 4A title later this month.
“This year has had more speed bumps,” Porter said. “I’ve had a lot of close matches that shouldn’t have been close. I know I have to wrestle the entire year. I don’t want to get upset.”
After high school, he’ll join former teammate Zach Aylor who is a freshman at Central Michigan this season.
