Its that time of year again! Harvest classic is always a great tourney filled with great match-ups. Last year we saw great matches such as Triana vs Poynter, Black vs Rumph, Mcintosh vs Johnson, McWilliams vs Murillo, also a mix of PM kids with a great showing as well.

Triton’s Greene is intriguing because he wrestled 113 all season before a sectional cut to 106. Rochester Royal Rumble (Match of the Day) – Malichi Greene vs
