  January 17th – 18th, 2020 the Bear Den Brawl wrestling tournament will return to Union High School in Big Stone Gap, Va.
  
  We have not held this tournament the past 2 years due to weather and football playoffs. This a very competitive tournament that give teams a chance to get matches in both a team and individual format.
  
  In the team to individual format, teams will wrestle round-robin duals and determine the pool winner (Fri-Sat). On Saturday, the winners of each pool will then crossover to wrestle and determine the team champion. On Saturday following completion of the duals, the top wrestlers from each weight class in each pool will wrestle for individual weight class championships. Individual medals will be given for placers as well as team trophies for 1st & 2nd place teams. Outstanding Wrestler Awards will also be presented.
  
  The goal is to get wrestlers as many matches as possible over the 2 days in a competitive team & individual environment.
  
  In the past we have had teams from the following states represented: VA, KY, SC, TN, WV, OH.

  Teams needed for December 13th & 14th Dual Tourney in Frostburg, MD
  Greetings coaches! As your season winds down and you start thinking about tournaments for your schedule for next season, we would like you to consider a two-day, ten team dual meet tournament that we are looking to host at Mountain Ridge High School on December 13th & 14th, 2019.
  
  MRHS is located in Frostburg, MD. We feel that Frostburg, which is in western Maryland (Allegany County), is in a great location to pull teams from many different areas. We are just a little more than two hours from the Baltimore/DC area, Pittsburgh, and Wheeling, WV, and we are about one hour from Morgantown, WV and Winchester, VA. Because of our location, there is potential for us to host a tournament with teams from four or five different states. This would allow teams to wrestle programs they don’t typically compete against.
  
  One draw for coaches to participate in a tournament at MRHS is our facilities. Mountain Ridge is a newer high school. We opened in 2007 and have outstanding athletic facilities. Another draw is that we have a staff that has a lot of experience in running tournaments. And since Frostburg is home to a university, there are plenty of hotels and restaurants in the area. We feel strongly that teams would not only find our tournament competitive, but it will also provide an enjoyable experience for coaches, wrestlers, and fans.
  
  If you are interested in attending, please contact me for more information. I can be reached at the cell number (text or call) or email address listed below. Thank you for your time. I hope to hear from you soon. Good luck with your post season competition(s).
