After 20 seasons of publicizing wrestling The TakeDown Report’s (TDR) focus has changed to the collecting of college coaching records from North America since 1903. We will continue to recognize and reward successful wrestlers in eastern North Carolina (east of Raleigh & Fayetteville), assist with schools in starting or re-starting a team and this blog. Join us on our FaceBook Page – “The TakeDown Report” for photos and news. Please send results, stories, links and news to pass along. E-mail us at takedownreport@gmail.com

Your record of Mike Edwards is incorrect. I was a member of the Winston Salem State team from 1973 to 1975. We had two coaches during that time. Edwards did not arrive at WSSU until the late 1970s. You can check the Black College Sports Encyclopedia and it has his tenure in it. Baxter Holman coached the first team at WSSU in 1973. He was followed by Wynn Headley, who coached my junior and senior years.
Thanks for the update. I will check it out.
