Some of the best wrestling teams in the area will see how they stack up against some of the best teams in surrounding states this weekend.

No. 1 McDonogh, No. 2 Mount St. Joseph, No. 3 Archbishop Curley and wrestlers from No. 12 Calvert Hall will participate in the Beast of the East wrestling tournament at the University of Delaware’s Bob Carpenter Center, a two-day tournament starting on Saturday at 8:30 a.m.

"The tournament showcases some of the top teams in the country and is touted as the best tournament in the country," Curley coach Gregg Kessler said.

Among the participants will be Blair Academy from New Jersey, which is considered one of the best wrestling programs in the country.

Jackson High School, of New Jersey, Northampton, Connellsville and Great Bridge, of Pennsylvania, and Colonial Forge, of Virginia, also will be in attendance.
