JEFFERSONVILLE — In the midst of all of the March Madness, Jeffersonville High School played host to “The Main Event.”

The 2010 Jeffersonville Youth Wrestling League held its league finals at Johnson Arena on Wednesday, scoring a record number of participants for the season.

“We ended up with approximately 305 wrestlers in the league,” said Jeff coach Danny Struck. “(It was) the most we have ever had. Every kid got to perform warm ups in front of their families and wrestle two matches each.”

Bridgepoint, which finished third and fifth-grade divisions, was the overall elementary league winner.
