Winter time is generally considered to be hibernation time for a bear. That's not the case for the Mentor wrestling team's 175-pounder Brian Horgan. To Horgan — who has gone by the nickname 'Bear' since he was a toddler — this is the time of the year to work harder than ever as he chases a stamp of legitimacy on his already impressive high school wrestling ledger. A two-time state-placer in Arizona, Horgan is wrestling his senior year at Mentor, his family moving back to Northeast Ohio as his father, Brian, nears retirement from the United States Army.
