It is time again from wrestling fans to smile. The best wrestlers in the state will be on display Wednesday, Jan. 4, at UVSC's McKay Events Center. The All-Star Classic is here to delight the crowd and continue to promote wrestling in Utah. The 1A, 2A, 3A team had its first victory a year ago and is looking for a repeat. In no other sport can the smaller schools not only compete but beat the bigger classifications. With the returning performers and the talented newcomers, this year's contest could be a repeat of last year as the winner was not determined until the final match.
