Team History (83)

1980-1981 Geneva Panthers

VARSITY WRESTLING. Although there were several fine individual performances turned in, the Varsity Wrestlers ended the year with a somewhat disappointing 5-10 record. Coach Knisely's team did boast six men with twenty or more wins. Leading the way was sophomore heavyweight Lou Cosentino at 24-5, followed by sophomore Jeff Principio, 23-5; senior Tom Parker, 21-7; sophomore Mike DeRaddo, 21-7; junior Don Davaney, 21-10; and junior Ed Principio, 20-4.
