A Route To The Title: Penhollow's State Championship Road Starts At Home
March 31, 2019

 

When greatness is achieved on the basketball court, football field, baseball diamond, ice rink or any other athletic venue there is rarely a need for a sportswriter to dig around to find a captivating story.

Athletes who succeed at the highest levels always tend to have a trail of interesting supporters, individual hardships and family connections following them along to be mined for narrative material.

But, every now and again, there is a champion who carries a fully-formed story along the way to their achievements with no mining necessary.

Just look down at your feet and there it is.

Robbie Penhollow's 2019 New York State Public High School Athletic Association Division II 195-pound wrestling championship season is that rare find.
