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.

Geneva High School
entered its third year of interscholastic wrestling competition and came up with
a rather well balanced team. The team won seven meets and lost three to the
large Elmira schools. The high point of the season was the convincing defeat
handed to Charlotte High School of Rochester. The latter team is the city
champion. After this meet there was no stopping the boys and they won the rest
of their meets and also came home with the Section V Championship. There were
seven individual champions among the Geneva group.
Wrestling is a rough body contact sport which requires a grueling training
period. It is entirely different from the professional brand of wrestling which
is so popular on TV. Interscholastic wrestling requires speed and the knowledge
of holds.
In the Sectionals the competition is very keen since each team represents a
league or county. These representative teams are the result of elimination
tournaments held among the several schools in that league or county. In some
cases the team in the sectionals was made up of three or four school
representatives. This makes for keen competition since the very best men are at
each weight. In all there were almost 25 different schools represented in the
tournament. (Seneca Saga, 1950)
