The fourth annual James Horning Memorial wrestling tournament will be held Saturday, Jan. 19 at the Mason Arena at Mason Middle School. Wrestling will begin at 9:30 a.m., with the finals tentatively set for 6 p.m.

 

The competition was named in memory of former senior captain James Horning, who was tragically killed in an automobile accident in Oct. 2003.

 

The purpose of this tournament is to keep Horning’s spirit and memory alive as well as raise money to benefit athletes in need and raise awareness of the need to wear seat belts, according to a news release from the Mason athletic department.

 

There will be 10 teams participating in the tournament including Centerville, Central Crossing, Dublin Coffman, Greenville, Kettering Fairmont, Mason, Milford, Olentangy, Rochester (Mich.) and two-time defending champions Lakota West.
