The tournament will consist of 12 teams. The Chieftains won the tournament last year, but not every team could show up to THS because of inclement weather.

Last year was the only year in Jeremy Goebel’s six years as coach that THS has won its tournament. Goebel said he’d like to see a nice crowd on hand for THS on Saturday.

“This tournament will have a special feeling, especially for the seniors,” Goebel said. “It’s a chance to compete at home in a tournament and have your buddies there. We’re hoping to really get everyone excited for what’s in store for the last month of Chieftain wrestling.”

The double elimination tournament will be in a bracket format.
