To get a jump start on next season I wanted to get the word out that the 10th Annual Ed Cressel Classic will be taking place on January 8-9, 2021 at Virginia High School. This year we hosted 39 teams from 5 different states and had an amazing tournament with some tough competition. Next season we are looking to open the tournament even more and add an additional 2 mats in our auxiliary gym. We will allow teams to enter all backups and run the tournament as 64 man brackets if necessary. We run a great tournament, keep things running smoothly, and we get things done as quickly as we possibly. We also have great facilities and a top notch coaches hospitality. Results for this past year's tournament can be found at trackwrestling.com. If you have any questions feel free to contact me at jshuler@bvps.org. Thanks, Josh Shuler Virginia High Wrestling
