MONMOUTH, Ill. — Wes Wrage, a first team All-Olympic Conference post player from Farmington High School, plans to enroll at Monmouth College this fall and continue his basketball career with the Fighting Scots.

“I’m really impressed with Wes,” said men’s basketball coach Dr. Terry Glasgow, who has guided Monmouth to 439 victories in 32 years. “I’ve watched his progress, and he’s really improved over the last year. He’s very physical inside, and that’s an area where we need help.”

As a senior, Wrage averaged 10.8 points and 6.3 rebounds as Farmington advanced to the final of the Taylor Ridge Sectional. He shot 47 percent from the field and had 51 assists and led the Farmers with 35 blocked shots. In addition to his All-Oly honors, Wrage was the MVP of the Abingdon Shootout. In conference games, he was ranked seventh in the league in scoring, fourth in rebounding and eighth in free throw percentage.

The Fighting Scots also recently recruited the Olympic Conference’s fifth-leading scorer, Knoxville’s Chris Walker.

“I feel his best basketball is ahead of him,” Glasgow added of Wrage, who is the son of Wayne and Elizabeth Wrage of Yates City.
