Old Eastern N.C. wrestling history photo
Shown below is a photo from our 1976 Sectional (Reg.) Champion team after the tournament at Rose High. James Johnson was on his way to winning DHC’s first-ever state title the next week. To my left, Jesse Davis would win a state title in ’77. The little trophy was all we got as the state wasn’t spending much on team awards! Lesson: it’s not the size of the award that counts.

Ohio College and University Wrestling Programs
The top program in wins in the Buckeye State is the Golden Flashes of Kent State with about 20 more wins in 10 fewer seasons than the defending national champion program at Ohio State. These numbers are from before the current season. The top coach in wins at KSU, Joe Begala actually was the winning-est college coach ever at the time of his retirement in 1971. Since then Dale Thomas and many others have scored more wins. Ohio Northern has the third most wins and a few other schools have also totaled over 500 wins. The next and last state to have listed will be Pennsylvania.

Open Wrestling Workouts @ ECU
Open Wrestling Workouts @ ECU
We will again be offering free, open workouts on the ECU mat this school year. We do this one Sunday a month for the benefit of area wrestling. There’s a little wrestling, but these workouts are mostly instructional in nature offering mat-time with our college coaches. East of I-95 ECU is your best source of open workouts and technique clinics. Here is our schedule:
September 27 3:00 – 5:00 (all workouts at the same time)
takedown defense, stance drill, standing switch, ½ Nelson
October 18 – stand-up, crossface cradle, roll
November 22 – low single, basic legs, duck-under
January 24 – bars, granby, td set-ups
February 14 – tilts, standing roll, td blocks
March 20 – drags, fake su/switch, bow & arrow, fake switch/roll
April 17 – overcradle, counter top moves, hip throw
We expect to see a lot of motivated athletes on the mat. Coaches: We hope you will post this information and distribute it to your prospective team members. If you know you will have several wrestlers attending, contact us if you want something specific covered. Wrestlers: All of your opponents go to practice just like you do; champions need to do something extra to get ahead.
NOTE: Our 5th annual ECU Fall Wrestling Clinic was held on Sat, Nov. 14th. We will also have a Spring Wrestling Clinic. For information on the clinic or Open Workouts contact Coach Milt Sherman at shermanm@ecu.edu A clinic flyer will be sent out later.
Workouts are held at the Student Rec Center on campus at 7th & Cotanche Streets
*Parking is available in the lot at 9th & Cotanche Streets.
