LOL I was just about to get on here and post a new thread about it when I saw this post! Here are the details:
The Holy Angels Invitational is being held Wednesday and Thursday, December 29th and 30th at Bojangles Coliseum. The flier for the tournament is available at this link:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PpAhHOGQuXXi9-wR5LcKmUYtKIPZb7A_FqoiLK9qRDE/edit?usp=sharingSome of the out of state teams from two years ago are unable to travel up here this year, but we do have some new teams coming in from Virginia, Tennessee, West Virginia and New Jersey.
Additionally, we want to make the tournament affordable for all comers, so the entry fee scale has been adjusted; a single wrestler is now only $50, while 2-5 wrestlers are $35 each. After that, the traditional sliding scale for groups of wrestlers begins, as outlined on the flier. So, if you just want to bring your best wrestlers, or the entire team, you have options for both.
As Ironman152 mentioned earlier in this thread, we have Boys Varsity, Girls Varsity and JV divisions, so something for everyone. We really want to step up the participation by girls to keep in line with the booming growth of girls wrestling as a whole, so please consider bringing any and all female wrestlers to this event, even if the boys are going elsewhere.
For any teams that wish to attend, please complete the application link below so I can add you to the tournament contact list:

Each hotel has provided a specific booking link for the tournament, and booking rooms through these links provides a commission back to the tournament, which we use to help offset tournament expenses so our donation to Holy Angels can be larger. To see the hotels and access the booking links, please see this document:

We do also have a Facebook page for the event:
