Jackson County Central will host the Big South Conference individual wrestling tournament Saturday.
Varsity boys and girls wrestlers will compete in the main gym, with the JV competition in the auxiliary gym.
The top three wrestlers at each of the 13 varsity boys weights will earn all-conference status. There will also be 14 at-large wrestlers selected later.
For the girls, the champion at each weight class earns automatic all-BSC status and there will be three additional at-large picks.
