1980-1981

1980-81 the season was truly a rebuilding year in every sense of the word.  New head coach Michael Pladus and his assistants Larry Talotta and Glen Danner fielded a varsity team consisting of only three seniors that wrestled regularly.  Though the team itself suffered through a 4-11-1 season, the year was not without its bright spots.  Senior Wally Frisch, who was named the team's Most valuable Wrestler, grappled his was to a 15-1 season during which he won the Centennial League championship and placed forth in the District XI championships.  Fellow senior Mike Hontz was the 1980-81 District XI champion at 119 lbs. And also placed second in the League Tournament.  Sophomore Ed Keichel won the Centennial League championship at the 105lb, weight class.  Freshman Jason Grantham, in his first year of wrestling, placed forth in leading the young Tigers to a third place finish in the centennial League Tournament.
