The Dapper Dan Wrestling Classic will probably be the wrestling swan song for Carlynton High School's Jordan Roussos.

"I have a full ride to Bowling Green to play football," he said. "So this is most likely the last match in my wrestling career. Wrestling in the Dapper Dan Wrestling Classic is an incredible way to have it end."

Roussos will anchor the WPIAL All-Star team in the 285-pound weight class when it faces a West Virginia All-Star team for the first time since 1978 at 2 p.m. in the preliminary match. At 4 p.m., the United States All-Stars meet the Pennsylvania All-Stars in the main attraction.

"I've never been to The Classic before, but I've heard quite a bit about it," Roussos said. "I once saw a video of Kurt Angle wrestling in The Classic. Ever since then, I've wanted to wrestle in it."

Roussos is the first Carlynton wrestler since 1973 to win a PIAA Class AA title. He had hoped to be picked for the Pennsylvania team, but Clearfield's Sean Owen, a two-time PIAA Class AAA finalist and one-time champion, was the choice.

"I'm just thrilled to be picked on either team," said Roussos, who will face Gabriel Hardiman (75-23), the West Virginia champion from Cabell Midland High School.

The West Virginia All-Stars have combined to win 18 state titles and have a cumulative record of 1,947-343.

"West Virginia has a very strong senior class this year," West Virginia co-coach Larry Shaw said. "Our kids will be self-motivated to battle the WPIAL All-Stars and represent West Virginia."

West Virginia features two three-time state champions, Dirk Bauer and Cameron Gallaher.

Bauer (175-3) is from Wheeling Park High School. His opponent in the 112-pound bout is Canon-McMillan's Ron Schram (107-29), a three-time WPIAL Class AAA qualifier.
