I have known the Hemmerling family for over thirty years. I can assure you Zach is a junior in high school. I don't know for sure, but I would bet he is an excellent student. Both of his parents are educators and two of the most ethical people I know. His dad, Dwight, was a state champ from Hutch in the 60's and coached wrestling for many years.
It bothers me, your source would start a rumor to take away what Zach accomplised this year. Not many wrestlers could handle the pressure of wrestling a 2x state champ with the team title on the line. Zach Hemmerling handled the pressure!!!
Congrats Zach.
