Hannibal, MO - The Hannibal-LaGrange University Wrestling program is pleased to have signed Matt Mattingley from Garden City, MO. Mattingley will graduate from Sherwood High School in Garden City, MO in May of 2012.
This season Matt Mattingley compiled an impressive record of 27-3 and an overall career record of 126-16. Mattingley is a four time state qualifier and a two time medalist. Mattingley held the team record of most takedowns and pins, and also holds the career records for most takedowns and wins for the Marksmen. “I’ve seen Matt wrestle and he is a talented and tough wrestler. Wrestling comes natural for him. Many people have to work hard to develop the talent Matt has naturally. I can’t wait to help him continue to develop as a college wrestler. Matt comes from a small high school program that has been growing, but hasn’t had many practice partners close to his own weight who could really push him. He will fit in here at HLGU. We will provide many practice partners close to his own weight who will push him to be the best that he can be. Matt will be part HLGU wrestling's largest growth in numbers and talent ever.”, said HLGU Head Wrestling Coach Scott Hawes. Mattingley plans to wrestle at 141 pounds for the Trojans. Mattingley plans on majoring in Recreational Management at HLGU.
Mattingley is the son of Jerry and Tina Mattingley.
