The 2020 State Duals Champion (and defending 2019 Duals and Tournament Champion) St. Edward wrestling released its schedule for the 2020-21 season Tuesday.
The best in Ohio will go up against the top two teams in the country in Blair Academy and Wyoming Seminary Jan. 23 in Pennsylvania. This season the Eagles were the only team that wrestled No. 1 and No. 2 back-to-back on the same day.
The season will start at home Dec. 5 in a quad with Beavercreek, Perry Township, and Westerville North. That will be followed by the nationally prestigious Iron Man Tournament Dec. 11-12 in Cuyahoga Falls, hosted by Walsh Jesuit.
Five days later will be the annual rivalry dual against St. Ignatius in Ohio City. The past two seasons the Eagles shut out the Wildcats.
During the New Year’s weekend, the Eagles will be in the Powerade Tournament, which is also in Pennsylvania, billed as the toughest tourney in PA and second-toughest in the US.
The Eagles will stay on the road Jan. 9 at Ohio Division II power Graham with Milan Edison.
Exactly one week later they will still be on the road at the Detroit Catholic Central Duals, but will not wrestle DCC, just some of other teams that will be there.
That’s followed exactly one week later in Pennsylvania against Blair and WS.
Finally, the Eagles will return home Jan. 30 to wrestle DCC and St. Vincent-St. Mary. DCC is one of the top five ranked teams in the country and St. Ed’s the top 10.
The next two weeks will be the Regional and State Duals. The Eagles have won all at Regionals since this format began and States five times.
The Sectionals will be Feb. 27, followed by Districts and States the next two weeks.
