    The Louisiana High School Athletic Association approved a measure that will move the state meet to the Raising Cane's River Center in Baton Rouge after a five-year run at the CenturyLink Center in Bossier City.

    The move puts the meet in closer proximity to the Interstate 10 corridor cities of New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Lafayette and their surrounding areas, home to many of Louisiana's most successful high school mat programs.

    West Virginia

    The West Virginia high school wrestling state tournament is staying in Huntington through at least 2024, according to an announcement from the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission.

    The 2020-21 West Virginia state wrestling championships is scheduled to take place March 4-6 at Mountain Health Arena in Huntington.
