The needs of the many may outweigh the needs of the few in the Star Trek universe, but for years the opposite mentality has been in place in New York State wrestling circles.
Still, coaches have done their best to create team-first cultures, even though only individuals have had opportunities to compete for state championships.
That's about to change, and Section VI is trying to get a jump on its future competition.
The section will crown team champions at Division I (large school) and Division II (small school) for the first time during a tournament Jan. 28 at Starpoint High School. Officially called the Section VI Dual Team Championships, a points system will determine the eight-team fields in each division. The field will be announced Sunday.
