[orangeanblack]

Just a reminder, the Orange and Black Classic at New Lexington is this Sunday (February 8th). This tournament has been one of the premier youth events in Southeast Ohio for years, with turnouts as strong as 400 wrestlers in recent tourneys. Come prepared to compete in a full 16-man bracket. Top three place finishers in the "open" youth division will receive deluxe trophies, including a 21" Trophy to the Champion!

A new feature of this year's tournament is the "Rookie" Division. This division gives first and 2nd year wrestlers the opportunity to compete against other first and second year wrestlers only. Wrestlers with more than two years of experience may not compete in this division. This tournament also has a junior high division and results will count towards the Top 20 Standings on www.ohiowrestler.com

The "Orange and Black Classic" is also a Tournament of Champions Qualifier. Top three place finishers will be eligible to compete at the nation's toughest youth tournament, the Tournament of Champions, in Columbus on April 25th. 2500 of the nation's best youth wrestlers attended this event last year.

Only OHSAA Certified Officials will be used. Five full-sized mats will run in two separate sessions to ensure that everyone everyone gets in and out quickly. We will start on time and run on time! To download an entry form, go here:
