Wrestling is a relative newcomer to the family of varsity sports at Hilton Central School. In the fall of each year, many boys proclaim an interest in this oldest of all sports. Unfortunately few persevere until spring. The 1956-57 season began, much as usual, with 28 boys on the roster. By tournament time late in February, only four seniors, one junior, and two underclassmen continued to attend conditioning practice. Of these, Bob Kelly at 145 pounds; Bob Newsome at 154 pounds; and Bill Kuefer, unlimited; won places in the pre-quarterfinals of the Section V tournament. As the number of boys in high school gradually increases, interest in wrestling should reach a point where a regular series of home and away matches may be scheduled with other schools in the county.
