Following the state tournament, the IHSAA Executive Committee named Francisco Porras of Hobart High School as the recipient of the Ward E. Brown Mental Attitude Award.
Porras capped his senior year with his second championship winning the 140 pound state title and finished with a career record of 146-12. Porras took home the title at 130 pounds at last year’s state finals, and was the runner-up at 125 as a sophomore. The talented athlete also played cornerback for Hobart’s football team throughout his four years.
Academically, Porras carries a 3.98 GPA and is ranked 19th in his class. Porras will wrestle at Purdue University in the fall, where he intends to major in Computer Science.
Porras is the son of Francisco Jr. and Amparo Porras of Hobart.
The award is named in honor of the IHSAA’s fourth commissioner (1976-1983) in 1985. Recipients of the award must be nominated by their principal and coach and must excel in mental attitude, scholarship, leadership and athletic ability in the sport.
Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance, corporate sponsor of the IHSAA, presented a $1,000 scholarship to Hobart High School in the name of Porras.
