Pictured above are the award winners from the 2009-10 Oskaloosa wrestling team. Front row are Cody Dickerson and Keoki Gibson, who received academic all-conference honors. Back row: Tanner Wanders (JV Wrestler of the Year), Trent Brown (Most Valuable Wrestler), Daniel Williams (Tyler DeHeer Award) and Brett Sams (Hardest Worker).
The Oskaloosa wrestling team held its annual awards banquet Thursday night.
The highlight of the night came when the Tyler DeHeer Award was given to freshman Daniel Williams, who was a state qualifier and finished with a record of 29-9 at 119 pounds.
Senior Trent Brown, who was 37-5 and finished third at 135, was voted the Most Valuable Wrestler while Brett Sams, a fifth-place finisher at 145, went 33-5 and received the Hardest Worker Award.
The duo also received a Pride Club pin as they were not pinned all season.
Sams was a four-time Little Hawkeye Conference champion, joining head coach Brandon Graham in that elite club.
Keoki Gibson and Cody Dickerson received all-conference academic honors and Tanner Wanders was named the JV Wrestler of the Year.
