    February 15th, 2021 Vol 66 No. 7 $5.00 Dear Wrestling Enthusiast, When Jess Hoke started Amateur Wrestling News 64 years ago, he wanted to create a publication dedicated to, as he put it, “the wrestlers, coaches, parents and fans of real amateur wrestling.” In short, he wanted to create a magazine about one of the things we care about most. Today, Amateur Wrestling News is still about the very same things. The main difference is that, years ago, we weren’t sure there were a lot of other people who shared our interest in amateur wrestling. Now we know there were, and are. And we truly hope that you’re among them. Every month we set out to inform, entertain, and enlighten you by bringing you the most complete in-depth wrestling coverage we can. Every issue is packed with results, tips & technique, team and individual rankings at all levels, wrestling history, photos, features and the inside scoop on what’s happening in wrestling.
