FLASHBACK FRIDAY - KENDALL BURKE — CLASS OF 2007

Kendall Burke put together one of the most decorated athletic careers in Ray-Pec history, earning an incredible five State Championships across football and wrestling.

On the football field, Kendall was a key member of Ray-Pec’s three-peat State Championship teams, proudly wearing the iconic #7 jersey as a senior linebacker. His outstanding senior season earned him 1st Team All-State honors, cementing his place among the Panthers’ elite football players.

On the wrestling mat, Kendall’s career was arguably one of the most dominant in Ray-Pec history. After placing 4th at 135 pounds as a freshman, Kendall made a remarkable jump to the 160-pound division, where he established himself as one of the state’s premier wrestlers. He captured back-to-back State Championships at 160 pounds as a sophomore and junior, dominating the division for two consecutive seasons. He capped his career with a 3rd-place State Medal at 160 pounds as a senior, giving him four State Tournament medals in four years.

Kendall finished his remarkable wrestling career with 162 victories, the second-most wins in Ray-Pec history, against just 27 losses. Even more impressive, 15 of those 27 losses came during his freshman season, meaning Kendall lost only 12 matches over his final three seasons while competing against the very best wrestlers in the state.

With two individual wrestling State Championships, three football State Championships, 162 career wrestling victories, four state wrestling medals, and 1st Team All-State football honors, Kendall Burke left behind a legacy of excellence that few Ray-Pec athletes have ever matched.

Five State Championships. Two-sport excellence. 162 wrestling victories. One unforgettable Panther.

FLASHBACK FRIDAY Tommy DeVille – 1983 Ray-Pec Graduate - Establishing a tradition of excellence.

Tommy DeVille, a 1983 Ray-Pec graduate, holds a special place in the history of Panther Wrestling. DeVille became the first multiple-time state medalist in Ray-Pec wrestling history, establishing a standard of excellence that would inspire generations of Heavyweight Panthers who followed.

As a junior, DeVille battled his way onto the state podium with an impressive 6th-place finish. He returned as a senior determined to take the next step, before finishing as the 3rd-place state medalist. At that time Heavyweight was an unlimited weight division and Tommy routinely weighed in as one of the lighter heavyweights in the state.

In an interesting piece of heavyweight history, DeVille wrestled future Ray-Pec Coach Limbo Parks and was the only wrestler Parks did not defeat by fall that season, a testament to the toughness and determination Tommy displayed against one of the state’s premier heavyweights.

DeVille’s accomplishments did more than add two medals to the Ray-Pec trophy case, he helped establish a tradition. His success set the level of excellence for Ray-Pec heavyweights who followed, helping create a legacy that continues to this day. Remarkably, Ray-Pec heavyweights have gone on to account for 14 of the program’s 117 state medals.

As the Panthers' first multiple-time state medalist, Tommy DeVille helped lay the foundation for a tradition of championship-caliber wrestling at Ray-Pec. His accomplishments remain an important chapter in the history of Ray-Pec Panther Wrestling.
