After battling

through the South Metro Wrestling Invitational last weekend, the local

high school wrestling teams will either host or head to several separate

tournaments.

than it used to be but will include some of the top wrestling programs

in a hotly contested dual meet. The meet will start on tomorrow at 9 a.m.

McIntosh placed seventh in the South Metro tournament last weekend and

should be competitive throughout the region this year. McIntosh wrestled

against LaGrange, Mt. Zion Jonesboro and Fayette County on Wednesday.
