Editor's Note: This letter to the editor was submitted by Felix Catheline, Sherwon Wanzo's former coach and teacher at Columbus South High School. My name is Felix Catheline and I am the head wrestling coach and 12th grade government teacher at Columbus South High School. Sherwon spent his Junior year living in Columbus, and it was my privilege to coach him in wrestling.

In his only season, he won a league championship at 152lbs., and showed great promise for the future. I was heartbroken when Sherwon had to return to Cleveland for his senior year. I kept in touch with him during the …
