 The Desert Storm Invitational, hosted by Dixie High School, has come to be one of the toughest tournaments in the Western United States. Teams from multiple neighboring states, along with Utah power-house programs make the trek to St. George to compete. It's a traditional double-elimination format and it's a BATTLE to make it to the medal podium. We anticipate you'll see some Green and Gold there when the dust settles.
Here are the details. Pay close attention as there are a number of unique situations for this tournament: Tournament Format: Varsity – Double elimination bracket tournament placing top six JV Day 1 – Bracket tournament, placing the top four wrestlers.

 The date was January 30, 2020. In a thrilling Region 9 wrestling dual, the Snow Canyon Warrior Boys Wrestling team had a lead of 33 to 29 against the Pine View Panthers. They had one more match. The 285 lb weight class. Heavyweight. With a win, the Warriors would seal the team victory.
Even if the Pine View heavyweight won by a decision of a 7 point margin or less, the 3 team points would have only been enough to bring their final team score to 32, giving the Warriors the win. The Pine View coaches, teammates, and crowd screamed for a win by fall. A pin! Their heavyweight answered the call and stunned the Warrior Nation with a pin giving the Panthers 6 team points. The agony of defeat! The Warriors lost that team dual by a final score of 33 to 35. That was 1,413 days ago. The Warriors have not felt that same pain since that night. They have been undefeated in wrestling duals against Region Opponents since that crisp winter night of Jan 30, 2020. On Thursday December 14, 2023, the Warriors will toe the line against the Panthers in the Warrior Nation’s Main Gym. JV matches begin at 6PM and the Varsity dual at 7:30PM Will the Panthers end the Warriors winning streak? Or will the Warriors show up with a “NOT IN OUR HOUSE” mindset and keep the momentum in their quest for a 4th Region Title in 4 years? Let’s all show up, fill the stands, and make some noise! Thursday, December 14, 2023 4:25 PM - Warrior Wrestlers meet in the wrestling room for check-in and start moving mats and setting up in the Main Gym (DO NOT BE LATE) 5:00 PM - Weigh-ins (scratch 106, 113, etc.) 6:00 PM - JV & Extras 7:30 PM - Varsity Girls and Boys *Here is the link for the streaming of our home dual vs Pine View High. Share with any fans unable to attend - https://www.facebook.com/scwarriorwrestling The Warriors will hit the road again this weekend, this time for Juab. The Winter Classic in Nephi, Utah, has traditionally been another great tournament to sharpen our skills. We expect nothing less this year.
The Boys Varsity format is a dual tournament and the Boys JV and Extras will be placed in pools and use a round robin format based on their weight. All wrestling will take place at the Juab Fieldhouse (802 North 650 East, Nephi, UT). Here are the details: Friday, December 8, 2023 5:30 AM - Wrestlers meet in our Wrestling room to check in. (DO NOT BE LATE - and DO NOT park in a teacher’s parking space or a marked senior parking space) 6:00 AM - Bus leaves for Juab High School (DO NOT BE LATE)Planned brief stop at the Maverick in Fillmore for restroom, food, etc. 10:30 AM - Weigh-ins (Scratch plus 2 pounds both days, 108, 115, etc.) 12:00 PM - Coach's Meeting 1:00 PM - Boys wrestling begins. There will be continuous wrestling for 5 rounds with no breaks. JV will run in the same building at the same time. 9:00 PM Hotel check-in. Wrestlers and coaches pick up keys/room cards for assigned rooms. If any wrestlers leave the hotel to get food at nearby locations, they must do so as teammates in groups of at least 2. Wrestlers are NOT allowed to get in a vehicle to travel at this time (not even with their parents). Be quick about it, avoid dangerous situations, no mischief, no funny business, no “meeting up” with anyone. Hustle back to the hotel once done. 10:00 PM - Everyone back in the hotel 11:00 PM - All wrestlers in their assigned rooms with lights out (no tv, electronics, etc). Nobody leaves their assigned rooms after 11:00 PM unless it is an emergency and you notify coaches. Saturday, December 9, 2023 7:15 AM Bus leaves hotel for Juab Field House (plan to eat breakfast at hotel or take it to go BEFORE we load the bus to leave) 8:00 AM - Weigh-ins at the Juab Fieldhouse (Scratch plus 2 pounds, 108, 115, etc.) 9:00 AM - Wrestling for both Boys Varsity and Boys JV and begins and will run continuously with no breaks until approximately 5:30 PM. Boys JV wrestling will be at the same facility. It will run at the same time as the varsity. We will stop the JV tournament on Friday when the Varsity starts to wrap up, and then pick it up on Saturday morning. JV will be a round robin format on Friday with large pools to get maximum number of matches. On Saturday, for JV they bracket wrestlers per Friday results. Pools will be based on actual weight that coaches entered when entering lineups. JV wrestlers do not need to “make weight”, but they should be approximately the same as their entered weight. A few things to keep in mind: 1- Boys Varsity, Boys JV will all take place in the same facility, The Juab Fieldhouse (802 North 650 East, Nephi UT) 2- The entrance is on the north side of the building, connected to the High School parking lot. 3- The facility has a lot of space, but not a lot of bleachers. There is a central turf area and the wrestlers are encouraged to bring “camp” chairs and blankets and set up on the tarps over the turf. 4- Parking is going to be a challenge. It's limited and on a first-come, first-served basis. Parents should plan on parking on adjacent streets and walking a bit. 5- If you need a hotel or would like an upgrade, there is a new hotel on the south side of town.
