Michigan Team State This Weekend
/Michigan's High School Team State Wrestling Finals are this weekend. I may be a homer, but one of the best events in all of Wrestling is Michigan's Team State finals. See, in the mitten we don't keep team score in individual postseason tournaments (including state). Our team state titles are handed out in a single-elimination dual tournament that starts with every team in all four divisions.
The event has become such a mainstay and tradition that almost all mitten natives don't even think about a team score at individual state. The event also brings interesting matchups as studs bump up often leading to state champs vs state champs. The event has been standing room only for a long time, even with a move to a larger arena.
It's interesting to note they are doing the finals for the four divisions at different times. Hope to see you there!
