GUILDERLAND — The Journeymen wrestling club will be hosting the Northeast Duals at Guilderland High School on Saturday.

Wrestling begins at 9 a.m. in the new gym at the high school and will feature 10 Division I wrestling teams.

There will be four top-20 ranked teams highlighted by traditional powerhouse, the University of Minnesota, which is number-four in the country. Virginia Tech University, the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga, and Central Michigan University are ranked in the top 20.

Minnesota won the national championship when the NCAA tournament was held in Albany a few years ago.

Also making an appearance is American University, which features Dwayne Hash-Barberis, a former Section II champion from Scotia-Glenville High School.

Also competing will be Ohio University, the University of Binghamton, the University of Pittsburgh-Johnstown, and Drexel University.

Journeymen wrestling is led by Frank Popolizio; his brother, Pat, coaches at American.

Admission to the event costs $10 for students and $15 for adults.
"We want to get all local wrestling enthusiasts to come and watch," said Journeymen coach Korey Rogotzke, who is also a coach at Guilderland. Journeymen athletics is a Capital Region wrestling club that supports wrestling in New York by running clinics, camps, and tournaments every year. It also develops and promotes the sport in the state.
