What is the New England Showcase?
Saturday, November 4th is going to be a great day for wrestling. The Schwartz Report is hosting its first ever invitational tournament!
The New England Showcase invites were sent to top wrestlers that compete or will compete in the NEISWA (prep league) or CNESSPA (public league). The tournament will be an eight-man, double-elimination bracket. Wrestlers are guaranteed three matches. First four eliminated will be entered in a mini pool to determine 5th-8th, and the losers of the semi-finals will wrestle for 3rd and 4th. For the girls side, wrestlers will be in a four-person bracket with two matches guaranteed placing all four.
Tons of college coaches have already confirmed their attendance, and more are invited. With that out of the way, here is the preview for the girls’ 120lb weight class!
WEIGHT CLASSES (Two-pound allowance):
Boys: 108, 114, 120, 126, 132, 138, 144, 150, 157, 165, 175, 190, 215, 285
