We are now just days away from the start of the 2017 Southern Scuffle, presented by Compound Clothing, and the field is shaping up to be just as competitive as ever. All eyes in the wrestling world will be on McKenzie Arena in Chattanooga, Tenn., on Jan. 1-2.
Today's list includes the top individuals in the 174 and 184 brackets. Rankings are based on the Asics Flo Rankings from Dec. 19, and former Scuffle placers are also included. There could be some movement from one weight to another, and all of that will play out when the official brackets are announced just prior to the start of the tournament.
Tickets are on sale now on GoMocs.com or by calling the UTC Ticket Office at 423-266-MOCS (6627). If you can't make it in person, be sure to follow all of the action through Flo Arena. Flowrestling is streaming every match live and links are available on the wrestling schedule page on GoMocs.com.
