Archives E-mail corrections or additions to info@armdrag.com. ArmDrag.com is looking for volunteers to help populate the Archives.  We're not only looking for results, but tournament brackets, photos, and articles as well.  Many college and public libraries have microform copies of complete newspapers dating back over 100 years.  In them, you can find lots of wrestling results. If you enjoy doing research, and you have some time, make a trip to the library and check it out.  Ask a librarian how to get started and how to print out the articles that you find.   1899 1920 1925 1930 1935 1940 1945 1950 1955 1960 1965 1970 1975 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 ... 1921 1926 1931 1936 1941 1946 1951 1956 1961 1966 1971 1976 1981 1986 1991 1996 2001 2006 ... 1922 1927 1932 1937 1942 1947 1952 1957 1962 1967 1972 1977 1982 1987 1992 1997 2002 2007 ... 1923 1928 1933 1938 1943 1948 1953 1958 1963 1968 1973 1978 1983 1988 1993 1998 2003   ... 1924 1929 1934 1939 1944 1949 1954 1959 1964 1969 1974 1979 1984 1989 1994 1999 2004

1955-56 Warsaw Tigers Wrestling Team FRONT ROW: R. Ess, H. Lee, L. McGill, N. Burns, R. Lung, Ronald Nourse. MIDDLE ROW: R. Simpson, D. York, L. Farr, K. Hinz. BACK ROW: James Sierk, Ronald Ellis, J. Snyder. (SOURCE: Blast, vol. VII, Warsaw Central School, 1956.)

The wrestling season last year was a good one for Warsaw and was climaxed by two boys, Ronald Ellis, Unlimited, and Ronald Nourse in the 103 pound class ending up as county champion in their respective weight class.

In the five (5) competition, Ron Ellis was beaten in the finals and Ron Nourse went on to take the section (5) championship in the 103 pound Division beating a boy from Springport.

There were many new boys out for the squad and they will be filling in the team this year along with veteran wrestlers such as Ellis, Nourse, Hollister, Merill, and Sierk. (The Blast, 1956)
 

NOTE: This text, written in 1956, refers to "last year" meaning the 1955  wrestling season. Also, according to the D&C, Ron Nourse didn't win Sectionals in 1955, rather he lost in overtime to Spencerport's (not Springport's) Dave Spaziano. Nourse did, however, go on to win Sectionals in 1956 along with James Sierk and Ken Carpenter.
