A messy OCR of wrestling results lists numerous names and schools such as Stow-Munroe Falls, Lakewood St Edward, Mentor, Massillon, and Canfield with varied outcomes including decs and pins. Several individuals like Josh Pativoda, Richie Spicer, and Dustin Powell appear, but data are garbled, partial, and hard to parse for dates or exact events.
