Hannibal, MO - The Hannibal-LaGrange College Wrestling program is pleased to have signed Mitchell Burnaugh from Carrollton, Texas. Burnaugh will graduate from Creekview High School in May of 2010.

Burnaugh is a 2 time state tournament qualifier qualifying in his junior and senior seasons. With only 4 seasons of wrestling experience Burnaugh’s finished in 3rd place at the UIL Texas State Tournament. “Burnaugh is a hard worker. Burnaugh has made it a point to be wrestling in the off season and it has shown with his improvement throughout his career.” I’m looking forward to him taking this next step of wrestling for HLG. I believe Burnaugh has the potential of being a force to be reckoned with. At 6’4” he is one of the tallest wrestlers I will have coached, and I believe Burnaugh has what it takes to be a competitive collegiate wrestler,” said HLG Head Wrestling Coach Scott Hawes. “Mitchell will be a great addition to our program on and off the mat. We are excited to see what Mitchell will accomplish as a freshman," stated Coach Hawes. Mitchell plans to wrestle at 184 or 197pounds for the Trojans.
