North Marion High School opened in 1979-80 as a consolidation of five small schools: Barrackville, Fairview, Monongah, Farmington, and Mannington. Mannington was the only school to sponsor a wrestling program, which was initiated by Coach Roy Michael in 1971.

Mannington claimed two AA/A state championships in 1977-78 and 1978-79, and Coach Michael was named West Virginia AA/A coach of the year in 1979. Mannington had four individual state champions and 10 state place winners before closing its doors following the 1978-79 season.

North Marion competed in its first year of existence in 1979-80 with Roy Michael as the head coach. Michael turned the reins over to his former wrestler Rusty Elliott, in 1983. Elliott coached the Huskies for six years, 1983-88, registering five individual state champions and 21 state place winners. Elliott moved on to Fairmont State College as a football coach for the Falcons and Michael once again resumed the duties as head coach.

2007-08 marks the fourth year for current head coach David Tennant, who will be assisted once again by Daran Hays, a former standout under Coach Michael while at North Marion.
