14th Annual Delmarva Classic This Weekend At The Wicomico Civic Center

(Salisbury, MD) The 14th annual Delmarva Classic is bringing 18 teams to the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center this weekend in high school wrestling action.

More than 18 state-ranked wrestlers from Maryland and Delaware will be competing in this year’s tournament. The Delmarva Classic has consistently ranked among the top 10 toughest public school tournaments offered in Maryland, and this year is no exception.

Three-time Maryland private schools champion Andrew Bannister (130 lbs.) returns to seek his third Delmarva Classic crown, and could possibly meet MD 2A/1A #1-ranked Joe Kidwell of Arundel in the finals. Alex Thomas (189 lbs.) of Sussex Tech seeks his third Delmarva Classic title as well. Sussex Tech will also seek to defend its team title, with strong bids from Milford, Easton, and Calvert expected.

Host school Wi-Hi will send undefeated Nick Leto (152 lbs), who placed third in MD’s 2A/1A state championships last year, in search of the first Delmarva Classic title for Wi-Hi since the inaugural tournament in 1996. The tournament has seen 6 state champions fail to win the Delmarva Classic in the year they won states.

Each day will cost $10 and a weekend pass will cost $15. We will have the entire lower bowl of the Civic Center – the seating configuration will allow for almost 1,100 seats. Finally, seating won’t be a problem!

Weigh-ins will begin at 1 p.m. Friday with wrestling starting at 2:45 and at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, and finals are slated for 6:30 p.m. Saturday.
