Talon Maple of Zephyrhills Christian is an 11th grader making some serious noise early into the 2023-2024 season. He is currently 17-0 and is approaching his 300th varsity career win!! Most guys are lucky to reach 100 wins in their careers, but Talon started wrestling varsity prior to reaching the 9th grade so he’s been racking up the varsity wins for a while now. Last season as a Sophomore he placed 3rd in the 132 pound weight class at the FHSAA IBT State Tournament in 1A.
So far this year Talon has pinned every single opponent he’s faced and has no plans of letting up on the gas. His goal this season is to win a state title for Zephyhills Christian and TFWR feels he will reach his goal, as we currently have Talon ranked #1 in the state at 144 pounds. So far he has won the Corey Hill Memorial and the Kiwanis Tournaments. Keep your eye on Talon Maple as he is one of the best and toughest pound for pound best wrestlers in all of the 1A class.
