Frank Ferguson's dedication to Ohio Valley wrestling is nonpareil. He is a 1972 graduate of Barnesville (Ohio) High School and earned his bachelor's degree in 1978 from West Liberty State College (now WLU). Ferguson wrestled for the Barnesville High School Shamrocks from 1970 to 1972. His senior year as a wrestler, he won an Ohio Valley Athletic Conference (OVAC) championship at 167 pounds. Not only did Ferguson captain his wrestling squad as a senior, but he also received the school's "Sportsmanship Award," which was voted on by the coaches of all sports at Barnesville High School. While matriculating at West Liberty University, Ferguson wrestled for the Hilltoppers his freshman year. Then the unthinkable happened. Due to a freak bicycle accident, Ferguson was paralyzed from the waist down. After a long period of rehabilitation, Ferguson returned to WLU and graduated with a degree in science. Ferguson began teaching at Brooke High School in 1978, where he still teaches physics and chemistry classes. He went on to earn a master's degree in science education and in 2005 was named the "Brooke County Teacher of the Year." During his teaching tenure, Ferguson never forgot the sport he loves - wrestling. Over the years, he has assisted in directing the long-standing Brooke Classic Wrestling Tournament. He has also served as a head mat scorekeeper at the prestigious OVAC Tournament for many years, love for the students he taught for over three decades. Ferguson and his wife Peggy enjoy traveling and caring for their two dogs.
