Nola.com: "Standout wrestler with one leg: Find out what inspires this New Orleans high school athlete"
Brother Martin wrestler Noah Confident was a high school freshman when he learned about Anthony Robles, a former college All-American wrestler born with one leg and the subject of recent Prime Video movie “Unstoppable.”
Confident, also born with one leg, has drawn inspiration from Robles for how he created his own moves on the wrestling mat that led to his success as a national college champion.
Now a high school senior who placed third in Division I at the LHSAA state championships last season, the 17-year-old New Orleans native competed again at the state tournament in Bossier City.
How long have you been wrestling?
I’ve been wrestling since the beginning of ninth grade. People used to say, "You should wrestle," and I just gave it a shot.
