Every year the St Michaels wrestling team hosts the BATTLE-BY-THE-BAY. This battle is in fact a two day High School wrestling tournament, sponsored by the Saints. There are fourteen (yes, I said 14) high schools participating in this year’s event and include teams from both sides of the Bay Bridge.
The first round will commence at 4:00 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 18th and Coach Smith says “We WILL finish three rounds on Friday”. The third round is scheduled for Saturday morning, Jan. 19th at 9:00 a.m., and the final rounds are scheduled for early Saturday evening.
At the end of the tournament the top four wrestlers in each weight class receive recognition. Those that win their class are given a copy of the official score sheet, a bright color long sleeve tee-shirt that proclaims their #1 status, and bragging rights for the next year.
Join us this week end at St Michaels High School, and witness some great High School Wrestling and fellowship. There will be a full service concession stand, with plenty to eat and drink. It will be crowded, so bring your happy face.
Stop by the official scorer’s table and say hi, I should be there on and off all weekend. GO SAINTS
