The Iowa Hawkeye's holiday tournament saga final turn will land them in Chattanooga, Tennessee, at the 2022 Southern Scuffle. With the cancelation of the Midlands Championships and then the cancelation of the Hawkeye Open, the Hawks needed somewhere to get their nonstarters matches and the Scuffle accepted them in.

Without open tournaments last season, this will be the hardest test yet for some of the young Hawks. Patrick Kennedy, the #3 overall recruit in the class of 2019, will have six top-15 opponents in his bracket including returning NCAA champ Shane Griffith and current #3 Keegan O'Toole.

Drake Ayala, a 4X Iowa high school state champ, 3X Fargo champ, and Who's #1 champ, has the opportunity to avenge his lone college loss as Pat McKee will be in his bracket.

Watch Drake Ayala and Patrick McKee's UNI Open match below.
