In high school, \u201cWavie\u201d made the wrestling team and graduated in 1982, when he went undefeated and became Mardela&#8217;s first wrestling state champion under coach David Decker. He went to college on a full academic scholarship for wrestling and in his senior year (1986) at the UM Eastern Shore, Mr. Gibson placed third in the MEAC, became an Eastern Regional qualifier and was named the team\u2019s most \u201coutstanding wrestler.\u201d When he moved to Baltimore, he became an educator at Walbrook Sr. High. He then started practicing with their wrestling team, becoming an assistant coach in 1987. The team was undefeated that year and won the MSA conference title. Mr. Gibson became head coach in 1989. In the 1992-1993 season, his team led Baltimore City into the MPSSAA where they had nine regional qualifiers along with six state qualifiers in their tournament debuts. Mr Gibson coached some of the first state placers from Baltimore City. Coach Gibson transferred to The Baltimore\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"background-color: var( --e-global-color-secondary );\">Polytechnic Institute where his success was just beginning. His Poly teams were always present in the top rankings of Baltimore City Public Schools: they became the first Baltimore City team to become a number one seed and host a regional dual meet tournament. We asked Mr. Gibson if his colleagues were to describe him in three words: \u201cstrict, friendly, and busy\u201d is what he answered. Coach Gibson&#8217;s team seniors from 1999 to 2014 had an unbelievable college acceptance rate of 89%, all while he was teaching at Poly as a Chem 1 and Chem 2 teacher. He is currently in the Poly Hall of Fame and serving as science department chair.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What if your teacher wasn\u2019t just great in the classroom, but also a legend on the wrestling mat?
