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 customarily
boasts a strong wrestling team. This year was no exception even though the
Panthers were not able to hold on to their conference championship. The Geneva
grapplers opened the season with a bang, winning their first three matches
before being stopped by a tough Dansville team. After Dansville the Panthers
went on to beat C.A. in a close match. They rolled up an impressive number of
wins to give them another winning season, but unfortunately lost a few crucial
meets which spelled the loss of their championship. Geneva had three
semi-finalists vying for state shields. Mr. Leach was unable to coach the team
the last few weeks so Mr. Morrissette proved an able substitute. Co-captains
Pete Blum and Dick Atkinson were among the group of Seniors whose graduation
will leave Mr. Leach with a few holes to fill, but most Genevans look forward to
another strong wrestling team. (Seneca Saga, 1961)
