1978 East Leyden

[BrooklynBrawler99]

Does anybody have any pictures, or even a video, or information post-high school of the 1978 East Leyden team? If somebody is ever in their gym, snap a few digital camera pictures of the storied history they have hanging on the walls.

We talk about the 78 team in pretty good detail on the video.

The history permeates todays wrestling more that any other program in history. All Americans, Coaches, Officials from the Farina era are almost countless. Not to mention others who wrestled in the Junior Raiders program in the same room, run by Ray and Roy Conrad (Randy's dad / Uncle) but went to other high schools, like Polz, Geise, etc.

The future looks bright for Leyden. The program is on a mission to re-establish the greatness.

For the record, the 1978 team had the 4 champs mentioned in a previous post, but also a 3rd and a 5th in Garret and Blackmen. 6 of 12 wrestlers. That same year they won the football title under Jack Leese.
