Poway High School wrestler Victor Lopez said he believes he can win the state championship in March this year—and his coach believes in him, too.

“I call it the ‘it’ factor. We don’t know what ‘it’ is, but we like when we see ‘it’ in a kid," Coach Wayne Branstetter told U-T San Diego.

Lopez spoke about what winning would mean to him, and his coach shared what makes the senior special in an article this week.
