Anybody know if it’s still going?

I wrestled there too! Pretty sure I bought (well my parents) my first Frank Gotch book there.

Seems like I remember seeing those being sold at a table, maybe out in the cafeteria. Brackets came with a black n white photo of F. Gotch pasted in the corner.

Lots of great memories of those kids tournaments and lots of talented kids. Good times!

If you wrestled someone really bad, and who bled a lot, well, that could have been me.

Did you go on to be one of the Greats, though?

Great would not be the correct term unfortunately. We didn’t even have wrestling at the school I attended until after I graduated from HS.

That would make it tough.

Frank Gotch is no longer alive, but Karl Gotch I believe is still involved with SCIENTIFIC WRESTLING

Mark Ironside, Cory Clark, Matt McDonough, and refuse not to mention Mike Kemerer.

I gotta throw Cory Clark’s name out. Incredible career and his national title equals two imho. Herculean effort with that shoulder. I’ll never understand how the hell he did that with his injury. I’m also giving him extra credit for the post-match Brands lateral drop lol.

His path to that title was insane as well. Beat 2 guys who won on last nights card and a world champ.
Micic, Tomasello, and Gross.

It really was an amazing run with a torn up shoulder. Pure guts.
