Fun history:
This was only the third year of wrestling at BHS. 3 coaches in 3 years. We credit in 64/65 Larry Brethorst, the Football coach to encourage school board /administrators to start a Wrestling team, a tough road in a basketball dominated school and county with Danville the only wrestling team. We were given a small budget with a cover wrapped around tumbling mats. We had to go long distances in and out of state to find schools. This was before the Illinois enrollment class system so were against much larger programs. We learned the hard way.
Before the 65/66 season we lost coach Brethhorst and assumed the team was done. Fortunately, Dan Winland a grade school teacher and outstanding Danville wrestler and college wrestler stepped in. Big turn around. He set it up for us to co- practice with Danville. They were great to work with. Dan also took some of us to school day exhibitions in most of the county schools to promote the true sport of wrestling. We had a good season, unfortunately, DJC ( DACC ) started Wrestling and Danny accepted the coaching position. Here we go again. According to Jim Richards he was approached by Lloyd Champion to take the Bismarck position. Jim had no wrestling experience and reluctantly took the job and glad he did. He wrestled with the older guys to learn the moves. We finished the year 9-7, not great but we were still wrestling the big schools. This photo was the culmination of that year. We beat out Unity and St. Joe for the title. The following year 67/68 as schools added wrestling the team went 16-2 and the program was off and running into a great future.
Thank you Larry Moss for the picture and information!
On another note, BHRA is so excited to have BHRA Alumni Cody Miller join us as the head wrestling coach! We are so excited to have him and see what's in store for the Blue Devil Wrestling Program! Welcome Cody!!!!
