If you're a wrestling fan, the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association and the Atlantic Coast Conference have combined to make March 8 a very special day.

Both organizations will hold their championship meets on that day in College Park, with the MPSSAA conducting their tournament at venerable Cole Field House and the ACC going at Comcast Center. The two entities announced yesterday that they have adjusted their schedules and ticket prices to allow fans to attend both events.

On that Saturday, the MPSSAA will hold its semifinals at 11 a.m., while the ACC's semis will take place at 2 p.m. The state finals will begin at 5:30 p.m., with the college championships beginning at 8 p.m.

In addition, MPSSAA ticket holders will receive a half-price discount on ACC tickets if they present an MPSSAA ticket stub or tournament booklet at the Comcast Center ticket window. And ACC fans will get five dollars off ticket prices for the MPSSAA meet if they present their stubs at the Cole ticket window.
