Dear Coach,The following information concerns the Boarder Sectional at Clover High School.
Clover will only host the Middle School portion of the Sectional. The JV portion will
be at Fort Mill due to the size of the tournament created by the weather last weekend.
Park all buses on the bus loop in the back of the school. All wrestlers will enter the
back of the school. Turn onto Paul Ford Road and then Right at the spirit rock.
Follow around to entrance in back of school. It will be marked.
The tournament will be held on Saturday, Jan.14th. Due to the cancellation of the
Fort Mill Regional we will have to wrestle A-B brackets for each weight class.
The format will be double elimination and anyone that reaches the 5 match limit
and can not wrestle anymore matches and has not been eliminated will qualify for
the Carolina Open. Teams now have the two pound growth allowance. The weight classes are:
82-88-94-100-106-112-119-126-133-140-148-156-164-172-187-212-287
