Footnotes

*Irving MacArthur's 1978 yearbook states the Alan Pittman was recognized as the most valuable wrestler at the state tournament. I'm going to assume that's separate from MOW, since El Paso Burges's yearbook states that Clarence Laster was MOW in 1978.

Amarillo Caprock's 1978 yearbook notes that Wade Olguin placed second, but does not state his weight class.

Amarillo Palo Duro's 1978 yearbook notes three additional state placers, but does not state their weight classes: Ken Wanderscheid(3rd), Mike Moore(5th), Rex Matlock(6th).

Amarillo Palo Duro's 1978 yearbook notes that Ricky Singletary placed second, but does not state his weight class.

El Paso Burges's 1978 yearbook notes that Rick Stageburg placed second, but does not state his weight class.
