RE: 2015 FHSAA Regional Wrestling Tournaments
The Florida High School Athletic Association is currently making plans for the 2014-15 school year. Accordingly, we are interested in establishing the host schools and sites for the 2015 FHSAA Region Wrestling Tournaments. It is part of an overall goal for advanced planning which we believe will benefit the FHSAA Office, the potential host institution and those schools participating in the FHSAA State Series in wrestling.
