Wrestling comes to town

Starting on Friday, January 24, and through Sunday January 26, there will be two wrestling tourna-ments in Moorcroft. The high school will host the Dylan Humes Memorial Tournament, and the Moorcroft Mat Masters (MMM) will host the Deb Allison Memorial Tournament.

The Dylan Humes Memorial Tournament on Friday and Saturday will host 31 teams from all over the state and other states including Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota. The high school will host varsity boys, the Moorcroft K-6 will host the girl’s teams and the JV will be hosted at the Moorcroft Town Center.

Friday, January 24 will start at 11 a.m. for varsity, 11:30 a.m. for girls, noon for boys’ JV and every-thing starts at 9 a.m. on Saturday. The tournament will have matches up to the quarter finals on Friday and Saturday will be the placement rounds for varsity and girls’ brackets.

Deb Allison Memorial Tournament will be held on Sunday, January 26 at the Moorcroft High School. This tournament will start around 9 a.m. and will host around 250 wrestlers of all ages.

MMM wrestlers will be selling tickets starting on January 23, with the drawing being held on March 10. Winners will be contacted after the drawing is held. This is the MMM annual fundraiser to help with tournament fees.

Last year’s MMM annual fundraiser helped pay just under $20,000 on tournament entry fees dur-ing the 2024 season. This fundraiser allows for over 40 wrestlers to be able to wrestle and learn during multiple tournaments.
