The Texas High School Wrestling Coaches Association is scheduled to host the Red River Rivalry All-Star Wrestling Dual competition.

The event will feature boys and girls HS all-stars in a Texas vs. Oklahoma format.

The top junior and senior high school wrestlers in Texas and Oklahoma have been invited to participate in the Red River Rivalry, a dual-match format event hosted by the Texas High School Wrestling Coaches Association.

The showcase will be at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 7, in the Competition Gym at Southlake Carroll Senior High School. The THSCWA is selecting the coaches for the Red River Rivalry based on who was voted as their stateā€™s Coaches of the Year during the 2020-21 season. The Texas coaches will then select the lineups for the Lone Star team while Oklahoma USA Wrestling president Zack Randall will select his stateā€™s roster.

This is a first-of-its-type high school event for Texas wrestling.

“My hope is a few athletes are discovered that might not otherwise be seen without this event,ā€ said Jeff Frank, Texas USA Wrestlingā€™s North Region President.

National High School Wrestling Association rules will govern the event, but the NCAAā€™s weight-class divisions will be used. Boysā€™ weights are: 125, 133, 141, 149, 157, 165, 174, 184, 197 and 285 pounds. Girlsā€™ weights are: 101, 109, 116, 123, 130, 136, 143, 155, 170 and 191 pounds.

ā€œThis event will be a strong indicator of how much we have improved the level of competition in our state because Oklahoma has been highly respected as a wrestling state for decades,ā€ said Joe Hathaoway, the THSWCAā€™s incoming President.

ā€œIā€™d like to thank Jeff McCall and American Wrestler Gear, because without him this event wouldnā€™t take place and these wrestlers wouldnā€™t have this opportunity.ā€ American Wrestler Clothing Apparel & Gear will outfit each of the all-star athletes. The event is also sponsored by the THSWCAā€™s current president Paul Ruck as well as Joseph Hathaway, Jeff Frank and Daniel McCready of Texas USA Wrestlingā€™s North Region, with special thanks also to Oklahoma USA Wrestling President Zack Randall.

ā€œI think this event is a great idea and I hope it will be an annual dual between these two great states,ā€ Randall said.

Admission to the Red River Rivalry will be $10 per person for adults and $5 for kids 10 and under. Kids four and under are free.
