T.J. McCance. Buter's 1st 100-win wrestler, is in fi rm control of this opponent during his senior season. McCance is being inducted into the Butler County Sports Hall of Fame.

BUTLER TWP — When T.J. McCance reached 100 career wins as a Butler High School wrestler, he was the first in program history to do so.

That was in 2002. Nine Butler wrestlers are part of the school's 100-win club now.

“And seven of them have passed me up,” said McCance, who graduated with a 103-20 career record.

“I love that. I'm proud of being the first one to 100, but I'm more proud of how many kids have excelled in the program since. If I had a small part in promoting awareness of the sport, that's enough for me.”

But he's gotten much more.

McCance was inducted into the Butler Area School District Hall of Fame in 2015. He will be inducted into the Butler County Sports Hall of Fame during the organization's annual banquet at 6 p.m. April 28 at the Lyndora American Legion Hall.
