I have been getting several requests for information about Youth Wrestling Tournaments. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be too many local events schedued. What I've decided to do, however, is provide some information about tournaments that are within a few hours of Section 9. Hopefully, in time, we will see an increase in local youth tournaments. For the time being, you may want to consider entering your future Section 9 wrestlers in tournaments in Section 1 (Dutchess, Putnam, Rockland and Westchester Counties), NJ, PA, Long Island, Sections 3 and 4 (Central NY), and Section 2 (Albany area). I hope this is of some help to those of you who are interested, and please do not hesitate in sending me any additional information regarding youth wrestling.
Section 9 Refs Selected to Work State Tournament!
Congratulations to Section 9 referees Wayne Carroll, Greg Tavano, and Gunnar DeJong. All three of these veteran officials have been selected to work the New York State Wrestling Championship Tournament in February. Jeff Traver, who works both Section 1 and Section 9 matches, has been selected to work the state tournament as well. Traver, however, will be representing Section 1. Congratulations and good luck to all four of these outstanding officials!
