Oskaloosa--The William Penn wrestlers unfortunately only get one change to highlight their talents at home this season and they will do so this week as they host #14 nationally-ranked Waldorf in a dual meet, Tuesday.
The #11 Statesmen (7-6), recent owners of a 54-meet win streak, will meet the Warriors at 7 p.m. in Penn Gymnasium. Penn dropped Waldorf a year ago in Forest City, 34-11.
Several matches will showcase wrestlers rated regionally and nationally, including the top two wrestlers in the NAIA at 149 with top-ranked Darren Cotton (Jr., Atlanta, Ga., McNair HS) against Brad Stockton. Cotton is currently 25-1, while Stockton is 30-5.
Several other matches will include both wrestlers being rated in the Central Region, including 141 with #5 Earl Robinson (So., Davenport, Davenport Central HS) bringing his 23-9 record up against #4 Mike Billings' 20-9 mark. Jorge Ortiz (Jr., Chicago, Ill., Wilbur Wright HS) enters his 184-pound matchup with #3 Casey Sullivan (19-6) presently rated fifth at 10-11. In the last head-to-head of two rated grapplers, #3-rated Jay Thomas (Jr., Alta Loma, Calif., Mt. Sac HS) will face #6 Jake Head (6-10) at 197 pounds.
