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.

For one local wrestling team, Saturday's sectional championship was a long time
coming.
For another, it was old hat.
Warsaw captured the Section 5 Class BB title at Caledonia-Mumford with 205
points, edging out Bolivar-Richburg (198.5).
It is Warsaw's first sectional wrestling title since 1976, according to Warsaw
coach Rob Hirsch.
"It really came down to the entire team wrestling hard," Hirsch said. "The whole
team bonded together. They just came together and won it as a team."
Warsaw had three individual champions.
Ian Paddock won the 96-pound title, pinning Kendall's Tanner Bauer in just 54
seconds in the finals.
"He's on a different level right now," Hirsch said. "He's really matured and
he's focused.
Paul Paddock won at 145, pinning Bolivar-Richburg's Dustin Pierce in 1:52 in the
finals.
"Paul knows what it takes to go to states. He was there last year," Hirsch said.
"The kid works hard and it shows on the mat."
At 215, Dan Reger also won by pin for the Tigers, stopping Marion's Matt
Mayville in 5:41.
Reger was seeded second, but controlled the match vs. the top-seeded Mayville.
"Reger wrestles with a lot of heart; he's non-stop," Hirsch said.
In addition, Chris Whiting (103) and Brandon Reynolds (275) finished second for
Warsaw. Zak Griffith (130) and Billy Romasser (171) oook third, while Jo-Russ
Wilkolaski (160) and Garrett Gruendike (189) were fourth.

seventh at 88.5, Cal-Mum was ninth at 67, Alexander was 10th at 65.5, and
Oakfield-Alabama was 13th at 23.5.
Mike Hackett and Tyler Luders brought home titles for Pavilion. Hackett won an
8-6 decision over Steve Black of Campbell-Savona in the finals at 119, while

the finals at 152.
In Class BBB at Sodus, Holley won with 260.5 points, giving coach John Grillo
and his Hawks their seventh sectional title in the last eight years.
"I knew we had a good team from top to bottom, but I knew we needed to peak at
the right time," Grillo said.
Le Roy was second with 203 points while Letchworth was third at 176.5. Pembroke
placed fifth at 142.5 and Byron-Bergen was sixth at 121.
"I said we need to wrestle above our seeds and we needed 10 to qualify for
supers and we needed 13 to place, and we did just that," Grillo said. "If you
paint a perfect picture it was that."
Holley placed eight wrestlers in the finals, and won seven of those matches.
Matt Banks (96) won with an 8-6 decision over Letchworth's Bucky Hendrickson,
Justin Widrig (125) had a 15-0 technical fall over Marcus Whitman's Tom Ryan,
