Over the course of Saturday and Sunday, 50-plus teams from seven different states will convene for competition.
The schedule for competition is as follows:
Saturday 10 a.m. ET: Championship wrestling through the quarterfinals (which are projected for around 5 p.m.), consolation wrestling to take the field down to 12 wrestlers per weight class
Sunday 9 a.m.: Consolation round to place, semifinals and consolation quarters (about 10:45 a.m.), consolation semifinals and seventh place bouts; 2 p.m. third and fifth place bouts; 4 p.m. championship bouts
The field features six Fab 50 teams with No. 8 Malvern Prep (Pa.) entering as the clear favorites, while it seems wide open for second place and the other top five positions with No. 29 Cincinnati (Ohio) LaSalle, No. 32 St. Joseph Montvale (N.J.), No. 36 Bethlehem Catholic (Pa.), No. 37 Notre Dame-Green Pond (Pa.), No. 40 Southern Columbia (Pa.), and Chambersburg (Pa.).
