the West York
...
by Webmaster Don Lehman
▪ This website
is dedicated to the great memory of an office, full of photos,
a coffee pot, and the endless conversations between wrestlers
and their coach. This
website is dedicated to the memory of a scales room, clean and
immaculate, with
nicely framed photos of "past" West York Wrestling champions and
championship
teams... and, an exam table used for daily naps! This website is
dedicated to the
memory of a small hot wrestling room - full of records,
all-time teams, motivational
quotes and a dark blue mat kept clean by a team of dedicated "Mat
Maids." This
website is dedicated to the memory of an old equipment room, with
its proudly
hung and pressed WY uniforms, and an equipment locker with a history
of WY's
YCIAA Sectional Champions, so neatly written. This website is
dedicated to the
memory of those great fans, the full gyms and the
proud support we felt. The
Alumni
Website is dedicated to the memory of a head coach who had
the vision for the
above, and the great patience to stay those long nights
while his wrestlers chatted
& took those long showers after a very tough practice or dual meet. This
website is
just
a "modern" extension of the visuals we saw during our lives at West York
Area!

▪ This website
is dedicated to a former head coach who cared,
the late
John T.
Toggas, and the many West York athletes who competed in the World's
"Oldest and
Toughest Sport!"
▪ Website
also dedicated to WY '72 Alumnus -
the late
A. Scott Callahan
