I think he ended up at Wilmington College but for teachers he had me and wrestling head coach Bruce Hrycyk whose head coach was the legendary Harry Houska…so he got lots of OU thrown at him.

An interesting story involves how Wilmington College actually has roots in Lee Township of Athens County. A big BA Booyah to anyone who can explain this connection.

Duh, the college was originally founded in Albany Ohio during the Civil War.

Hey Doc,
Bruce Hrycyk was my high school PE teacher in Bethel, Ohio... One of the wrestlers he coached from the Bethel HS team was quite good and got a scholarship to wrestle at OU. A year later during the summer, that wrestler (and my friend of course) was kind enough to show me around the campus in Athens and, the rest is history... 😀

You are essentially correct! And, I guess I owe you a chicken dinner!

The details in a nutshell: An academy in that Athens County village called the Albany Manual Labor University was founded (circa late 1840s) by a husband and wife team who were graduates of Oberlin. Despite the name, the school had a very academic curriculum. The manual labor referred to students working in the afternoons as apprentices to local craftsmen, to help pay for part of their tuition, kind of like the later Berea College model. All three of the famous Holland brothers were educated there. This institution, obviously, welcomed people of all colors, creeds, and both sexes. However, when it folded on the eve of the Civil War, its building in Albany was purchased by a church group that set up something called, Franklin College. This school would not admit blacks, which lead to the creation of the Enterprise Academy in Albany by the then rather substantial black population in Lee Township. After a few years, Franklin College was moved to Wilmington, where it flounder, and was purchased by the local Quakers there and became Wilmington College. Now, as Paul Harvey would have said, you know the rest of the story! ;-)
