1964 NYS Intersectional Champion Frank Patterson
According to Patterson's 2005 obituary, in "high school, he won the first state Wrestling Championship, for Niagara Wheatfield. As a football player for the Falcons, he was the biggest football player, in 1963/64, anywhere in high school, college and even the professional teams." OBITUARY SOURCE: rhoneyfuneralhome.com.
