The 2021 Powerade Wrestling Tournament Hub

by Christopher Miller

The crown jewel of high school holiday wrestling tournaments – the 2021 Powerade Wrestling Tournament – has returned to Cannon-McMillan High School Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, for the 55th annual Powerade Wrestling Tournament, December 29-30. The storied event has returned to its usual location after seeing a smaller field (55 teams) and a new location (The Monroeville Convention Center) last year due to the ongoing pandemic. That said, the 2021 tournament will be bigger and more challenging than any other Powerade Tournament in the longstanding history of the event. Simply put, if you’re a fan of high school wrestling, this is an event you won’t want to miss. “This one (the 2021 Powerade) is by far, and there’s no doubt in my mind, the toughest we’ve had,” tournament director Frank Vulcano Jr. said on the Near Falls with D Hall wrestling podcast. “I truly believe this is this is probably the toughest tournament in the country, hands down.”
