Strope’s last match as a Fatima Comet ended in victory in the Missouri State Tournament’s consolation finals. Strope finished 3rd in MO State Tournament both his Junior and Senior seasons and was a qualifier both his freshmen and sophomore season.
“Strope was one of the first recruits who attended either our Trojan Wrestling Clinics or Trojan Wrestling Camps. I saw very quickly his competitive spirit and his desire to improve his technique. I was disappointed that Strope didn’t join us last season, but the path he chose before joining us in serving our state and country in the National Guard is an honorable one. Corey was a very competitive wrestler in high school, and I’m glad to have him now as compared to never! Corey knows college wrestling is a big step up, but we both believe he can come into our program and help make a difference in the coming years” said HLG Head Wrestling Coach Scott Hawes.
