The FIGHT 2022

[TheFIGHT2022]

Now that the Tennessee girls wrestling season is over and everyone is starting to plan for next season, I would like to offer the opportunity to join our event. Findlay High School, Ohio will be hosting the “Findlay Invitational Girls High-School Tournament aka “The FIGHT” on December 16&17, 2022.  While this will be the first year of the girls’ event, it would have been the 6th year of the boys’ event that it will be replacing.  Our hope is to recruit the best women's teams from around the United States and bring them to Findlay, Ohio for a NFHS Sanctioned in season event. We are looking to recruit 40+ teams and run it on 9 mats.  This event will be run on trackwrestling.com and we will be live streaming it as well due to teams coming in from long distances.  If you are interested in more information please email me at thefight2022@gmail.com  Just to clarify again, we are only looking for state sanctioned HS girls wrestling teams. I know that many states are still in the process of full sanctioning and that is fine. We are not looking for clubs.

Girls wrestling has been sanctioned in TN since 2015.

Thank you for pointing that out.  I am learning a lot about each individual state and association as I work through all of this.  Do you know of any reasons that a team from Tennessee cannot attend a tournament in Ohio? Just checking if there is something I missed.

It could be a decision by Individual School Systems to limit them to miles allowed to travel.

All Tennessee teams can attend tournaments in OHIO and there is no travel restrictions at the state level on travel.

You are correct. It is left to the individual schools or school districts.

It has been this way for a few years now.  The TSSAA eliminated the travel restrictions for schools at least with wrestling back in 2017.

We are excited to announce that today we added Harrison County Kentucky (KYWCA State Champions 2022) and Taylor County Kentucky (KYWCA Runner-up 2022) to our tournament list.  I will keep adding as I receive teams committments. Keep Watching my Hammer List Doc for updates.

Two more great additions to the Tournament were added this afternoon; Defending State Champions Liberty Arizona and Tulsa Oklahoma have both committed to attending the 2022 FIGHT!! In addition we added one of the largest teams from the state of Illinois (and 3 state placers returning) with Homewood-Flossmoor adding their committment yesterday. Keep your eyes on the Hammer List!
