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 Geneva Wrestling
team had a number of key injuries in its line up, but still finished with a
5-10* season. By the end of the season the team had improved and won its last
two matches. They lost four matches by close scores, which meant that the
forfeits hurt them. Their biggest loss due to injury was senior Tom Moracco. Tom
had just won the Newark Tournament and suffered a hand injury the next day which
kept him out the remainder of the season.
Co-captains Rick
VanDeMortel and Bill Bentley had outstanding seasons. Rick finished the season
with a 21-4 record and Bill was undefeated in duals 14-0-1 and 20-4-1 overall.
Rick also won both the Newark and Webster tournaments. Both boys are looking
forward to the sectional tournament.
Junior John Consentino also had a fine dual meet record finishing 11-4 with 10
pins for the year. Along with Rick VanDeMortel and Bill Bentley, other seniors
who contributed to the team were Tom Moracco, Steve DiFederico, Fran Salone,
Phil Durso, and Harvey Palmer.
