1979-1980

1979-80 the season started with great expectations.  Even though at on time or another, five key wrestlers were out of the line-up, the wrestlers never gave up and ended with another banner year.  The season ended with twelve victories and another Centennial League title, thanks to the contributions from Dave Gross, Jesse White, Roy Hottenstein and Ron Haas.  In post-season action, Kurt Wentz, Greg Stewart, Phil Smith (District XI champ), Wally Frisch (District XI runner-up), and Don Haas (3rd in the District XI Tournament).  All had success in their individual weight classes.  Phil Smith, Kurt Wentz, and Greg Stewart advanced to the State Tournament, where Kurt Wentz won State Champ and Greg Stewart won State Champ for a second time.  This helped the team finish third respectively and only a half point behind Notre Dame.  This was the fifth consecutive season NWL Wrestling had finished among the leaders in the team race at the state level!
