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.

This year A.H.S. has added wrestling to its athletic curriculum under the direction of Coach Robert Conk. In its inaugural year wrestling has proved to be very popular as well as most successful. Interest was aroused in rural areas as a large number of rural boys took part. Authorities believe that wrestling in Attica High will no doubt raise itself even to the level of interest in basketball within the next two years.

Our grapplers started off the year at Warsaw and the Countyseaters with more experience defeated Attica 40-11. However soon after, the Attica squad showed their worth at Arcade where they battled to a 31-20 win.

Soon after our grapplers went to the Letchworth sectionals where Paul Mapes, Tom George, Dick Sikes, and Roger Walker emerged victorious. These boys took part in the sectional finals and Tom George and Paul Mapes fought to gain the Wyoming County Championship in their respective weight classes and went to the Rochester Sectionals. Here Tom George lost by injury after going into the semi-finals. Attica's matmen next took on Warsaw in their first home meet and encouraged by the many thrilled spectators, our boys really put on a show. Attica gained revenge for their earlier defeat by upending a strong Warsaw team, 30-21.

At the next contest the Attica team put up a valiant fight against Oakfield but lost by a 28-18 final score. Attica then defeated Batavia Blind School in two exhibition meets, one at home 30-17 and the other at Batavia 25-15.

This season's record of all regular school meets was four wins and two losses. This is an exceptionally good record for the first year and with the large amount of experience and knowledge gained this year, the Attica wrestling team should compile an even better record next year. (The Torch, 1950)
