The Loveless Legacy And Payson High School’s Great Wrestling History


Pictured above: Gerald Loveless (third from right in middle row of team picture) and the 1953 Lions and Chris Loveless at the podium during The Second Annual Payson High School Wrestling Hall of Fame Banquet held Saturday, November 21, 2015

Payson High School’s Wrestling Team has won five State Championships: 4A Crowns in 1998, 2009, and 2010; 3A Crowns in 2014 and 2015.  Along with those State Championships have been numerous region, division, tournament, and individual championships.

Gerald Loveless was a wrestler on Payson High School’s first wrestling teams, beginning in 1951.  His sons and grandsons have been major forces in developing a program respected throughout Utah.
The well-attended Hall of Fame Banquet Saturday night paid special honor to Gerald, who passed away October 18, 2015, and to his son Doug, a major force in building and maintaining the PHS Wrestling Winning Tradition.
