NWCA All-Star Classic

On Saturday, November 2nd at George Mason University is the 48th Annual NWCA All-Star Classic. The All-Star Classic will feature the nation’s best college wrestlers. The headline of the night for the event will feature 2X NCAA Champion Logan Stieber vs. NCAA Champion Kendric Maple at 149 lbs. Stieber, who was a four-time state champion in high school has had an amazing record of 184 wins and only one loss. His only loss was to three-time NCAA Finalist (one-time champion) David Taylor. Ohio State’s Logan Stieber (a redshirt junior) has been completely dominant in college. He holds a 60-2 record and has won two consecutive national titles. He most recently defeated Iowa’s Tony Ramos 7-4 in the NCAA Finals. Stieber's opponent will be Oklahoma’s Kendric Maple. Maple won two Kansas State Championships in high school. Maple (a redshirt senior) has an amazing 102 wins and only 18 losses!. He is a two-time NCAA All-American, and most recently an NCAA National Champion. He defeated Edinboro’s Mitchell Port 4-3 in the NCAA Finals.

I am extremely excited to watch this matchup in the NWCA All-Star Classic. This will be the only time these wrestlers will face one another this season, because Logan Stieber bumped up a weight class, so that he could wrestle Kendric Maple.
