Team History (43)

1926-1927 West Occidentals

The wrestling team, though greatly handicapped by the loss of Hooker, injured early in the season, defeated East High twice and suffered but three defeats. Stelljes tossed his way through the bouts undefeated, winning over the best wrestlers of Tech High and East. Felli upheld the heavyweight division capably. Barons, though he sacrificed his own personal record by moving up a class to fill the vacancy caused by Hooker's injury, finished the season with more victories than defeats. TEAM MEMBERS (not in order): Stelljes (Captain), Hooker, E. Bates, Barons, LeBlanc, A. Bates, Felli, Shoecraft, Cocuzzi. SOURCE: Occident, West High School (Rochester, NY), 1927.
