Mr. Maughan has made his name as a wrestling legend and an inductee in the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. He started as a student athlete at Canonsburg High School, where he won many titles. That took him through college, and eventually to his career as a coach. He is the winningest coach in North Dakota State University history with a career record of 467-157-13. He became a wrestling coach at the university in Fargo, N.D., in 1964 and retired in 2011. He was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, among many other organizations.
