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.

Shown here in the semifinals, Paddock controls Marathon's Brian Borst en route to a 15-0 technical fall. Paddock finishes the year undefeated with one of the most dominant seasons in Section Five history.

Warsaw's Paul Paddock (bottom) gets ready to reverse Gowanda's Jake Davis in Saturday morning's semifinals. Paddock beat Davis, 6-1, and went on to capture his first individual state championship. Paul and his brother, Ian, were one of two sets of brothers to win state titles this year. (The other was Union-Endicott's Jones brothers.)

* In addition to the tournament placewinners, there were awards given out for the NYSPHSAA placewinners. Since CHSAA & PSAL are not part of the NYSPHSAA, St. Anthony's is not a member school of the NYSPHSAA. As a result, D1 96-pounders wrestled for the 6th place, NYSPHSAA spot. Brockport's Trevor Irwin was the victor.
