Thursday-Saturday February 24-26, 2022, State Wrestling Tournament Sioux Falls ALL MATCHES ARE STILL AVAILABLE TO STREAM FOR FREE at SDPB.ORG/WRESTLING The matches will still have all wrestler info and look the same as they have in years past, you'll just be accessing them a different way. You will not be able to directly access the stream from TrackWrestling. You'll have to use track wrestling to see what mat your wrestler is on, and then go to that mat on the SDPB YouTube channel. If you click a link on Track Wrestling and it is asking you to subscribe to something in order to watch a match, DON'T DO IT!. The matches are free via SDPB. The process will be the same on Saturday for the Dual Tournament. Find the mat your team is on and go to that mat on the SDPB site. The finals matches will still be broadcast live on SDPB as usual. South Dakota Public Broadcasting prides itself on making all high School Activities accessible to our viewers at no charge. Because SDPB is the exclusive rights-holder to SDHSAA Wrestling Championships, individual matches will not be available through TrackWrestling or other sources. All matches for all classes will stream at. SDPB.org/Wrestling
