Great Smoky Mountain Grapple 2020 has been postponed

THE ASHEVILLE BUNCOMBE REGIONAL SPORTS COMMISSION ISSUED THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT REGARDING THE 2020 GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAIN GRAPPLE:

“As you are aware, the North Carolina High School Athletic Association has modified their season for wrestling for 2020-21. As a result, we will not be able to host the Great Smoky Mountain Grapple in December 2020. After the first of the year, our tournament committee will re-evaluate and see if there is a possibility to host a wrestling event later in the year in potentially June.

We realize that each state will be going through different guidelines so we wanted to let you know as soon as possible. We have some incredible teams from across the Southeast and we wish each of you the best as your season progresses and we hope that your athletes have a safe school year. We will be following you and cheering for your programs as you capture State Championships.

Please mark your calendars for December 17-18, 2021 for the 2021 GRAPPLE. Thank you for your dedication and participation in the tournament over the past three years.”

- Demp Bradford, President
