SADLY a NATIONALLY Ranked California team was INVITED to compete against our Louisiana kids! It’s NO secret, Louisiana is NOT known for our high level wrestling schools so WHY invite a NATIONALLY ranked team?


If they were in a podunk tournament this would be one thing, but we should expect the best we have at Jesuit, BM, and HC to compete with anybody anywhere.

This is stupid as shite and screams butt hurt, this helps grow our sport in LA and makes kids get better by facing tougher competition. I competed in the Classic with OK and TX kids and never had an issue with it

Yeah, not even close... The state champions in LA look like just regular competitors in big wrestling states...

Tyson Roach from Sam Houston is a top 5 wrestler in the state and he was teched by the Gilroy kid 20-5. Richie Clementi lost by decision 6-3. However, probably the best wrestler in the state at Teurlings, Alex Rozas beat the Gilroy kid at 120 7-0 in the semis.

To be the best, you have to beat the best, The best heavyweight in the state, Langosa from Jesuit, lost 5-0 by decision.

Unfortunately, Louisiana is a football state, and doesn't show much attention to wrestling.

Even competition coached by Daniel Cormier? That’s several levels above what those schools have. He’s also learned from several wrestlers from Dagestan, many of whom are best in the world
