Jackson County Central will host the rescheduled Big South Conference individual wrestling tournament on Friday. The tournament had been scheduled for early last month in Marshall but was postponed due to the weather and was moved to Jackson due to conflicts with the venue on the new date.
Wrestling starts at 3 p.m. Friday with varsity competition in the main gym at JCC High School and the JV tourney in the auxiliary gym.
In the varsity tournament, the top three place winners in each weight class are named to the all-conference team. There will be an additional 14 all-conference selections made by the coaches.
The Huskies are in the middle of a busy week that started with a 42-27 win over Adrian Area on Tuesday.
Tonight (Thursday) Class 1A No. 4 Jackson County Central split a pair of duals in Fulda, falling to Class 1A No. 8 Lake Crystal Wellcome Memorial Area 42-23 and winning 34-31 over Fulda/Murray County Central.
JCC wraps up the week at a tournament in Mapleton Saturday.
