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.

1957-58 Spencerport
Rangers Varsity Wrestling Team
FRONT
ROW: Newbauer, Galipeau, Marchesi, Wittman. MIDDLE ROW: Paige,
Poole, Bachers, Peck. BACK ROW: Mr. Meilnicki, Logan, Dini,
Dentlinger. (SOURCE: Panorama, Spencerport Central School,
1958.)
A large
turnout greeted Coach Mielnicki's call for wrestlers early in
November. The team was quickly whittled down, however, by lots of
calisthenics and hard work.
Forming the backbone of the team were returning lettermen Fordie
Paige, John Bachers, county champ Bernie Wittman, county and
sectional champ Gene Dini, and veterans Roy Peck and Doug Drake.
Ronnie Marchesi, a freshman surprise, has the best record on the
team, and two other first year men, Bert Galipeau and Ricky
Contryman, have been looking fine. The other first year varsity men
show promise and are improving as they gain experience.
Spencerport is a charter member of a new league this year, the
Central Western Conference League. The new league has some tough
competition, but the Rangers hope to come out near the top.

The S.C.S. matmen won their first
meet of the year over Batavia by a score of 36 to 11, and extended
the team's winning streak to 27 straight over a four year period.
The next meet found the winning streak stopped at 27 straight, as
the Rangers dropped one to Letchworth, 29-19. Since then, the
Spencerport grapplers have won over Waterloo 28-16, lost to Geneva
31-19, won over Penn Yan 35-22, over Medina 34-10, lost again to
Letchworth 27-13, and won over Brockport 42-10. The Rangers have
outscored their opponents so far 226 to 156 for an average meet
score of 28 to 20. (Panorama, 1958)
