Deerfield duo figures out key to high school success on the mat.
Deerfield wrestlers Keven and Christian Hoogheem are identical twins, similar in every area, nearly impossible to tell apart. But the juniors have finally figured out gaining one difference may be what helps them both succeed individually.
