At the recent alumni get-together, the first ever "annual" WHAZZOO award was also in attendance.. As you can see in the photo below, it was awarded in 1971-72. The recipient was Senior Ralph Terrell who wrestled at 215 pounds. During conversations with Ralph and other alumni at the recent get-together, Some of the history of the original orins of WHAZZOO was discussed. The original spelling was acually WHAZZO with only a single "O". The 1 "O" was for opponents. The new version with 2 O's came into existence at a later date. I'm sure there is more history to be learned, but it was great being able to share the photo of the trophy and learning more about the proud history of Hurricane Wrestling!
