LHSAA Cancels Remaining Wrestling Regular Season
High school wrestlers in our state were dealt a tough blow this week with the LHSAA cancelling the remainder of their 2020-2021 season.
I m sure you can guess why. Yep, COVID-19 is the culprit once again.
You may remember hearing about a small, but concerning COVID-19 outbreak stemming from a wrestling tournament a couple of weeks ago. In case this is also news ot you, don t worry, I ll fill you in.
Nearly two weeks ago, the Louisiana Classic Wrestling Tournament took place in Gonzales, Louisiana at the Lamar Dixon Expo Center. After that event, over 20 COVID-19 cases were diagnosed directly linked to the tournament. Of course, that number could continue to grow as it has this week.

An outbreak of COVID-19 cases connected to a high school wrestling tournament in Gonzales has led to the LHSAA canceling the remainder of the wrestling regular season. But LHSAA director Eddie Bonine says they still plan on holding the state wrestling championships in Baton Rouge February 25th and 26th.
“This moratorium will hopefully help guarantee that all of our wrestlers not put into a situation or potentially missing a state competition due to a positive case of COVID or being exposed to a positive case of COVID,” said Bonine.
The state health department reported over 20 COVID-19 cases linked to the Louisiana Classic Wrestling Tournament at the Lamar Dixon Expo Center that took place nearly two weeks ago. LHSAA president David Frederico says they still wanted to hold the state championships, but the best way to get there was to end the regular season.
