Thanks to the sport, the Valparaiso senior is also twice the person he was. "Wrestling is a lifestyle," Bravo said. "It really does affect everything. It keeps me out of bad things. It keeps me busy. It makes me work harder. It gives me the dedication to get good grades. Wrestling's something I love. I don't know how my life would be without it." Bravo (17-1) has been a key player in the revival of the Vikings program under coach Jim Smith.
