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.

Inexperience takes its toll
There were several bright spots in the season including a 33-30 upset over
Waterloo as eight freshman and sophomores took to the varsity wrestling mats for
GHS.
individuals turning in fine performaces included John Scalzo, Dave Eldridge, Tom
Moracco, and Terry Jahn. Jahn, 21-3 overall and 14-1 in dual meets, won
both the Webster and Newark Tournaments, in each case triumphing over formerly
undefeated defending champs. Other Webster Tourney champs, where Ray Watt took a
second, were Scalzo and Moracco. Later at Newark Scalzo took a second place. At
Spencerport Dave Eldridge, placing third at 155 pounds, was Geneva's only winner. (Seneca Saga, 1977)
