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.

State School for the Blind flew new
honors today - two sectional wrestling championships - the first
ever earned by the school.
Kingpins wearing the Section 5 shield of the New York Public High
School Athletic Assn. are Edward Harrington of Dansville and Kenneth
Cross of Dunkirk. They achieved the highest possible schoolboy
honors in sectional competition at Brockport State Teachers College.
Harrington, winner of the 95-pound class for Class B-C and D
schools, has partial sight. This is his first year on the team and
he won nine matches and lost four during the season.
Cross is a totally blind 154-pound grappler who is a third year man
on the team. He had a mark of 18 wins in 14 events during the
season. Both went into the sectional finals after winning
Genesee-Orleans county championship and eliminating opponents in the
semi-finals.
Wrestling Coach Dan Birecree said both earned second places in the
Eastern Athletic Assn of Schools for the Blind meet in Connecticut
earlier this year. Harrington pinned William McCann of Hammondsport
Central in 3:22 to win his title while Cross decisioned Jack Bell of
Bolivar Central, 7-0.
Other area champions are: Class A schools, Dave Fugle of Attica
Central, 112 pound class; Don Tavermier of Letchworth, 127 pound
class; Jim Kennedy, Perry, 133 pound class; Ronald Carmichael,
Letchworth, 154 pound class; Al Beck, Attica, 165 pound class;
Manfred Wolcott, Attica, 106 pounds.
Also in Class B-C-D, Paul Glor of Alexander won the 103 pound title;
Donald Nourse of Warsaw triumphed in the 127 pound division; David
Townsend of Alexander won the 133 pound unit; Lee Ganigen of
Alexander took the 146 pound title and James Sierk of Warsaw gained
the 175-pound class toga. |
