To most high school kids, family is defined by mom, dad, brothers and sisters.

 

The term has a completely different meaning to Exvonte Jones, whose life centers around the community that comprises Portage wrestling.

 

"I feel like it's not just wrestling. It's like I'm with family, spending time together, getting work done," Jones said. "Everybody, varsity, JV, the coaches, the little (club) kids, they help me out with my situation. If something's bothering me, I can go to any of the coaches and talk about it. They're always there for me. It's something I've wanted as far as a family."
