Morris signs letter of intent to wrestle at Missouri Valley

Weiser senior Matthew Morris will be wearing purple and orange this fall as he wrestles for the Missouri Valley Vikings.  
    The son of Mike and Stacy Morris, Matthew has been wrestling since he was four years old, coming up through the ranks of the Weiser youth wrestling program.  
    Matthew has had many coaches throughout the years and Coach Drew Dickerson has helped him grow and become the wrestler he is today.
 Missouri Valley is Dickerson’s alma mater and he is excited for Matthew to represent the Weiser Wolverines.  
    “Matthew is a hard worker. He has faced adversity during his wrestling career and that is why he will work harder than the next guy,” Dickerson said. “Matt’s drive will make him a successful student athlete at the college level.  I am so proud of the wrestler and man he has become.”
    Missouri Valley is happy to have Matthew as well.  With a string of Wolverines making their way to the college over the last 30 years, Matthew will be joining a legacy of wrestling.      
 Head Coach Mike Machholz has coached wrestling at Missouri Valley since 1994 and has had numerous NAIA champion wrestlers throughout those years.
    Coach Machholz stated, “We have a great connection with Weiser High School wrestling over the programs 30-plus year at Missouri Valley College. We are excited to continue that tradition with Matt Morris. He is an outstanding young man with a solid work ethic on and off the mat. We look forward to him competing for the Valley family and carrying on the Weiser legacy in Marshall, Mo.”
    Missouri Valley College is a private liberal arts college and competes in the NAIA division. At college, Matthew will continue his career in the health care industry and although he isn’t 100 percent sure, his goal at this point is to become a registered nurse.
    “I am excited to be able to go into the health care field while continuing my wrestling career. It is the best of both worlds,” Morris said.
