The McCort wrestling program is used to rolling with the punches and three weeks before the start of their regular season, they found out 8 of the 10 conference teams decided they weren't going to wrestle in their dual against them. This left a huge void and hole in the Highschool and Middle School schedules. After lots of emails and communication the two schedules are 95% finished & set. The highschool starts off the season with a bang and competes at the Ironman tournament. This event is the #1 HS in-season event in the country. The Ironman is Dec 9-10 in Ohio.
The following weekend they will be traveling back out to Ohio for the Barnesville Doan Ford Invitational. Established in 1969 as one of the first Invitational Tournaments in the Tri-State area, the 53rd annual Doan Ford-Barnesville Wrestling Invitational welcomes you to the prestigious tournament to be held on December 16-17, 2022. This event has 36 teams from Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, Pennsylvania, & West Virginia. Then on Dec 29-30 the team will travel to Powerade. This event is another top Nationally ranked tournament and 55 teams competing. In January, The Crushers will get to wrestle one of two dual meets. On Jan 3rd, the Crushers will travel to Bedford for a dual meet. Then preparing for another road trip. This time they will be traveling to Richmond, Virginia to compete in the East Coast Catholic Classic on Jan 6th-7th. There are close to 50 teams in this event and some national powerhouses like Malvern prep and Delbaurton, NJ.

Finishing out the tournaments for the year, the team will be traveling out east to Lehighton, PA for the Coal Cracker tournament. This event has 57 teams and should be some great competition.
