Wrestling USA Magazine and Cliff Keen Athletic present the 11th Annual Dream Team Classic

For years, the State of Ohio has wanted a crack at the USA Dream Team. This year, they'll get the opportunity. It's head to head competition between America's top high school wrestlers and the best from the Buckeye State.

The dual meet will be held at 5 p.m. on April 21, 2007 at Austintown Fitch High School in Youngstown, Ohio. Any serious wrestling fan knows that this region is one of the country's biggest hotbeds of our sport. The competition will be fierce. Anything can happen.

And if that weren't enough, Cliff Keen Athletic and Wrestling USA Magazine also bring you the Ohio Border War, pitting top high school seniors of Ohio vs. top seniors of Pennsylvania.
