Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 157 That guy was a legend. Sexton was a Class A school; the best. Dave was a heavyweight wrestler who took state champion honors all three years, even when he was a sophomore. He later went to the University of Michigan State and took the NCAA heavyweight championship two years out of three, losing only to a mammoth animal named Curley Culp from Arizona State University. Curley later played professional football. Was an AFL All-Star and six-time Pro- Bowler. After beating Dave Porter, he later finished as the 1967 NCAA Heavyweight Wrestling champion, then went on to wrestle in the Olympics. He rudely interrupted the reign of the other NCAA Heavyweight Wrestling champion for 1966 & 1968 … Dave Porter. Porter compiled a three-year record of 51 wins and three losses, for a 94.4% winning percentage. In NCAA wrestling tournaments, Porter had a 13-1 record. He received the 1968 Michigan Senior <strong>At</strong>hlete Award and still holds several Michigan wrestling records, including 32 falls. He pinned opponents in less than 30 seconds on three occasions. He still holds the Big Ten Conference records for most consecutive falls with seven. Porter also played defensive tackle during the 1966 & 1967 football seasons. He wore No. 70 and compiled 46 tackles, four pass breakups, two fumble recoveries. His best game for the football team was the 1967 game against Minnesota in which he made 11 tackles. In all, Porter won five letters at Michigan, three in wrestling and two in football. Dave was big, strong, mean and damned awfully capable. I honestly think our Leviticus, Limited 33-0505963
Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 158 own local legend, JC Chouinard, might‟ve backed down before facing a monster like Dave Porter. The guy was scary. When Porter got out of the car, Dave and Dan Chouinard both recognized him immediately. I‟d be willing to bet they were desperately trying to think of some way to amicably solve this situation. I mean, come on, he‟s Dave Fucking Porter, for Christ‟s sake! Porter was heading for their car with a pissed off look on his face. The time for reconciliation was gone. Some dumb son-of-a-bitch was about to have his ass handed to him in a crumpled bag. That‟s when Rex, who somehow managed to squeeze into the back of Dave‟s Ford, got out of the car. He stood up, and stood up, and stood up, then finished standing up. Six-nine, three-twenty-five. Porter stopped. Looked at Rex. Shook his head. “Fuck it. I ain‟t takin‟ on that big motherfucker!” He got back in his friend‟s car and they drove off. Rex was good at preventing fights. It‟s as if he had a knack, ya know? On two occasions I sat in a bar drinking with Rex. One I only include because it was so unique. A lasting time in my memory. It was the weekend of the 1965 state wrestling championships, held at Eastern High School. We‟d been in and out all day, making sure we were present whenever someone we knew wrestled. Buddy Frahm was complaining it was only because he‟d injured his leg … I think it was the right one … he wasn‟t in there competing at whatever pissy little weight class he was in. 112 pounds, maybe. I told him if he didn‟t shut the fuck up, I‟d be happy to completely break his other fuckin‟ leg and he‟d have an excuse all ready to go for next year, too. Leviticus, Limited 33-0505963
