There is no cost to join this program and we encourage all incoming 6th graders through High School level wrestler to take advantage of this great opportunity. The only fees you will have are those associated with competing in individual tournaments.

The Individual portion of the state tournament will begin at 9:00 AM on Friday morning (3/3) with the Class AAA starting at 1:oo PM. On Saturday morning , wrestling begins at 9:00 AM with a consolation round for all classes followed by championship semifinals at 10:15 AM. Wrestling concludes with 3rd and 5th Place matches at 4:00 PM followed by the championships at 6:30. There will be a welcome home Pancake Breakfast this coming Sunday at the Eagles!
Due to the pending weather, the Individual Section schedule has changed. Instead of wrestling on Friday and Saturday, the tournament will be run ALL on Saturday (no wrestling on Friday). The team bus will still leave on Thursday evening after practice in order to get ahead of the snow and blizzard conditions expected.
The Falcons will host Austin this Thursday, 2/16, at Nomeland Gymnasium in the quarterfinals of the Section 1AAA team tournament. The winner will wrestle the Lakeville South-Mayo winner at 3PM on Saturday afternoon at the Rochester Mayo Civic Center. The Section finals will take place at 5PM.
