WHS wrestling squad | R-T Team of the Week

Corey Saathoff- February 12, 2015

The Republic-Times Team of the Week is the Waterloo High School wrestling squad coached by Pat Stewart.

WHS hosted the regional wrestling meet Feb. 7, with the Bulldogs finishing third as a team while advancing six wrestlers to the sectional meet this weekend in Mattoon. That is the largest number of wrestlers Waterloo has ever sent to a sectional in one season.

The six grapplers who qualified for sectionals are Cory Cissell (120 pounds), Austin Stewart (152), Kory Schaefer (182), Paul Stewart (138), Kerstan Panzau (170) and Mack Mundy (145).

Waterloo High School hosted the MVC Invitational wrestling tournament on Jan. 31 and the Bulldogs battled to a second place finish, tied with Civic Memorial in the six-school meet. Waterloo finished the regular season with a match record of 16-5.
