North Royalton Hosts After Coming Within a Point at Wooster
NORTH ROYALTON, Ohio — OhioQuest heads to North Royalton this Saturday, Nov. 14, for the North Royalton Fall Open. Today is the last day to register, and wrestlers from 26 clubs are already entered.
The hosts are bringing a crowd. North Royalton finished one point behind Panther for the team title at Wooster last Sunday, and its clubs have more than 45 wrestlers entered on their home mats. Reigning state champions Conor Styles and Cameron Uffman lead a field that also includes four Wooster champions.
Wrestlers to Watch
