MYWAY, Border Wars events added to Fab 50
5/16 - A pair of events have been
added to the back-end of the 2012
Fab 50 Schedule, allowing youth
wrestlers in Michigan a couple more
opportunites to score some late
season points.  MYWAY is hosting 
their first ever Freestyle State Tournament on June 24th in Romulus, which will be a "silver" event on the MI Grappler Fab 50.  The Border Wars Battle at the Bridge, which takes place on July 7th in St Ignace, has been added as a bronze event as well and will serve as the final event of the 2011-2012 Fab 50 season.
