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.

There were no surprises in team competition at the Genesee Region League and
Livingston County League wrestling tournaments Saturday.
The
favorites -- Pavilion in the GR and Le Roy in the Livingston League -- easily
outdistanced their competition.
Winning the league tournament is old hat for Le Roy as the team captured its
ninth straight title.
Pavilion's win was its first since the 1977-78 season.
Genesee Region Tournament
ALEXANDER - Pavilion ended up with 222.5 points. Byron-Bergen was the
closest competitor at 124.5 points, with Kendall in third at 115.5.
Pavilion won the league tournament 10 years ago in Coach John Grillo's
first year at the school.
Despite being the favorite, Grillo was taking no chances in the event. His
club was coming off a close match against Kendall earlier in the week.
"We
won, but we didn't look good," said Grillo. "Wrestling's the kind of sport
where you never know."
As
it turned out, there was no need to worry. Pavilion placed 10 wrestlers in
the finals and placed in the top four in all 14 weight classes.
Greg Majors helped key the big win for Pavilion. Seeded fourth at 132
pounds, he upset top-seeded Brian Spicer of Alexander in an early round.
In the finals, he won an 8-4 decision over Brian Barnes of Attica,
getting revenge for two losses to the Attica wrestler this season.
Arturo Martinez won the individual title at 112 for the Gophers with a pin
in :55 over Rob Estes of Elba/Oakfield-Alabama.
At
126, John Bannister won a 2-1 decision over Geof Smith of
Alexander. At 145, George Brown won a 4-3 decision over Rich
Theal of Attica. Brent Walton (155) decisioned Chris Hart
of Kendall 9-0, Jeff Harris (177) decisioned Carl Schroeder of
Pembroke 10-7, and Craig Baker won 13-4 over Bryant Tyson of
Byron-Bergen.
Finishing second for Pavilion were Chad Draper (98), Tim Sullivan
(138), and Dave Lemley (167). Finishing Third for the Gophers were
Shawn Wilkinson (105) and Jamie Mott (119). Kip Donegan
(250) was fourth for Pavilion.
Other titlists were Tim Herman (91), Dan O'Grady (98), Lee
Woodring (119), and Eric Toal (138) of Byron-Bergen; Maurice
Robinson (105) and Todd Forkey (167) of Kendall; and Mike Thore
(250) of Attica.
Only seven of the league's nine teams were involved. Lyndonville and
Holley were unable to attend due to the poor weather conditions.
