The 2006 Southern Scuffle will take place on December 29 and 30 at the Greensboro Coliseum's Special Events Center. Up to 10 mats will have action going on simultaneously. However, tournament committee members will be scheduling feature matches on three specific mats in order to accomodate the webcast coverage. (Because the schedule is done as the brackets develop, the exact schedule of matches to be shown is typically not available.)
In-depth coverage of the 2006 Southern Scuffle will be provided both days from start to finish, highlighting numerous matches. In addition, several coaches and wrestlers will provide in-sight throughout the two days of action.
Among the 32 teams participating in the 2006 edition of the tournament, there are six teams currently ranked in the Top 25. Missouri, the second-ranked team in the nation, captured the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational team title on Dec. 2 and is closely followed by Minnesota in the No. 3 spot. The Golden Gophers have won the Southern Scuffle team title each of the last two years. Other ranked teams slated for the Southern Scuffle this year are twelfth-ranked Edinboro, No. 13 Cornell, No. 14 Ohio State and No. 20 Pittsburgh.
The rosters of those 32 teams also contain 67 individuals that are currently ranked. Three individuals hold the top spot in their respective weight classes. Dustin Schlatter of Minnesota at 149 lbs., Ben Askren of Missouri at 174 lbs., and Cole Konrad of Minnesota at 285 lbs are the top-ranked wrestler in their weight classes. Troy Nickerson of Cornell at 125 lbs., Matt Keller of Chattanooga at 133 lbs., Roger Kish of Minnesota at 184 lbs. and Max Askren of Missouri at 197 lbs. all sit in the No. 2 spot.
SouthernScuffle.com will also be the sole source of up-to-the-minute results for all 10 weight classes throughout the two days of action.
