One by one, the winter sports are starting up.
Wrestling was the latest sport in which teams could begin practices, which teams across the state did on Monday. Competition can begin on Nov. 12, although many teams in Hamilton County will be waiting a few days before taking to the mat.
The first big day is Saturday, Nov. 17, when six schools will have their first meet. Hamilton Heights will host its annual Super 6 tournament, with Noblesville competing there as well. Fishers travels north for the Western Invitational, while Hamilton Southeastern heads into Indianapolis for the John Hurrle Memorial Invitational at Arsenal Tech. Westfield will travel to the south side for the Circle City Classic at Perry Meridian, and Sheridan will wrestle at a tournament in Cloverdale.
Carmel opens its season Tuesday, Nov. 20 by hosting Lebanon at the Carmel High School Fieldhouse. (Subsequent Greyhound home matches will be at the Eric Clark Activity Center.) Guerin Catholic starts its season on Wednesday, Nov. 28, welcoming Clinton Prairie to the Eagles Nest.
