Bad Links? | All state wrestling tournaments in GwinnettFor the first time in history, the Georgia High School Association will stage all five of the traditional state wrestling championships under one roof - the Arena at Gwinnett Center in Duluth. The top four wrestlers in every weight class from each area tournament in all five classifications ( A through AAAAA) will be brought to the 10,000 seat Arena for a three day wrestling extravaganza that will take place Thursday, Feb. 9- Saturday, Feb. 11. The idea of bringing all classifcations of high school wrestlers together in one site is very exciting, said GHSA Executive director Dr. Ralph Swearingin. It will be a tremendous celebration of the sport of wrestling and should stimulate a strong, positive response from the wrestling community throughout Georgia. Action will take place on 12 mats throughout the early rounds of the event. Then all five classification state title matches will take place simultaneously at each weight class in the finals. Ticket prices will be $7 for Thursday and Friday and $10 for Saturdays finals. A Total Tournament Ticket can be purchased for $20 that will allow admission to all three days. |
