Dear Royalle,
I had to wrestle your father everyday in practice. He was as tough as a tiger and never ever gave up. He had an arm drag that he could hit from just about any position;: didn’t matter if he was on his feet, knees or stomach….plus he had what we old timers use to call a head shrug, that he could hit at will! I agree 100% that he is one of the best wrestlers in the history of JCU wrestling.
