2X State Champ Signs with Trojan Wrestling


Hannibal, MO - The Hannibal-LaGrange College Wrestling program is pleased to have signed Bryce Alexander from Maryville, MO. Alexander will graduate from Maryville High School in May of 2010.

After transferring from Henderson High School in Kentucky and coming out of seemingly nowhere, Alexander surprised many Missouri wrestlers with his success on the mat as he represented Maryville High School. Alexander compiled impressive records of 42-1 during both his junior and senior seasons of competition at Maryville High School. Alexander will be the first ever 2 time Missouri State Champion to wrestle for HLG. To accompany Alexander’s monumental achievement in the Missouri state tournament he has also been recognized by every one of his school’s wrestling programs as the school’s most valuable wrestler from 7th through 12th grades. “I’m really excited that Bryce has decided to be part of making history here at HLG. His achievements on the mat speak for itself. He is a really, really good high school wrestler. Bryce knows college wrestling is a big step up, but we both believe he can come into our program and help make a difference right away” said HLG Head Wrestling Coach Scott Hawes. Alexander will be wrestling at 157 pounds next season for the Trojans.

Alexander plans on majoring in Business at HLG.

Alexander is the son of Scott and Christine Alexander.

HLG is a Division I NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) school and a member of the American Midwest Conference.
