Another year of West Central Valley Wildcats varsity wrestling begins with a fresh-faced teacher on Monday. Next week begins the Ben Strandberg coaching era in Stuart. Strandberg comes to Guthrie County after four years leading the Sibley-Ocheyedan General’s varsity wrestling program in northwest Iowa. A 2008 Buena Vista University graduate, Strandberg earned All-American honors in 2007 after placing second overall at the Division III National Wrestling tournament. He takes over the West Central Valley Wrestling program from Ethan Calvert. Calvert was the Wildcats varsity coach for two seasons before resigning last March to become a high school social studies teacher at Interstate 35 High School. The Raccoon Valley Radio Network is hoping to have an introductory interview with Strandberg on the next Wahl McAtee Tire and Service Center Guthrie County PM Sports Page, Monday at 6 p.m. on True Country K 107.9.
