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.

The 1958-59
season was the culmination of the efforts of four years of hard work
for many members of the Spencerport wrestling team. With six seniors
holding varsity positions, there was a determination in the air that
this was to be a good year. The attitude of determination and long
hours of grueling practice resulted in the team's 13 win and 1 loss
record. An undefeated season was prevented by a heartbreaking 23-18
loss to Geneva, where one individual match of twelve made the
difference. |
In the Central Western Conference, Spencerport placed second this
year in a field of 10 teams with a 7 win and 1 loss record. Geneva
again this year took the crown with an undefeated record.
Outstanding individual efforts helped to make the season what it
was. Both Gene Dini and Doug Drake went through the regular season
without a single defeated and a final record of 14 wins and no
losses. A number of other grapplers closed the season with only one
or two defeats. (Panorama, 1959) |
