The next inductee for the 2025 Wall of Fame is the 1972 State Wrestling Champions! The 1972 State title team consisted of Scott Buchanan, Gene Hunt, Paul Martin, Randy Nielsen, Managers Mike Koob and Cal Carson, Head Coach Dale Bahr and Assistant Coach Ron TerHark. The Bulldogs came out on top in a State Tournament dominated by the North Central Conference, besting Runner-Up Clarion by 2.5 points. They were closely followed by Humboldt and Eagle Grove in 3rd and 4th respectively. This was the third state title in four years for Algona!
Our next Wall of Fame Inductee for 2025 is John Strohman. Strohman was an outstanding wrestler for the Bulldogs from 1977-1980, finishing his career with an impressive 113 - 5 record! It is interesting to note that his only losses came in the NCC Championship match as a freshman and at the State Tournament. He was a 3 time NCC Champion, 2 time State Runner-up and 2 time State 3rd place finisher.
