Slamming to Victory by jenny Wright lthough many of this year's teams were very different from those of last year, the one that probably changed the most was the hockey team, which experienced many changes, such as a new coach and an entirely different system of team play. The new coach made the biggest differ- ence for the team this year, said team captain Rob Thomson. He had a different kind of philosophy which most of us hadn't been exposed to. This was the first time that Ric Bacharach, the new coach for the hockey team, had been the head coach of his own team. Last year he was assistant coach for New Trier when they won the state tournament. If we went into a slump or something, he was able to diagnose what was wrong and help us to fix it up. He also got along well with the guys on the team, said Rob Thomson. The team started off very well, and they were in second place and going strong at about Christmas time, when they suddenly encoun- tered problems with injuries. ln the second game of the season one of our captains, Mike Whaitley, shattered his kneecap and was out for the rest of the season. Our goalie had a bad cut on his foot, and somebody else also had knee trouble, said player Geoff DeStefano, so we really just ran into a lot of bad luck. Many members of the team also gained individual recognition. Kevin Grant was sixth in the league in scoring, Geoff DeStafano was eighteenth, and Eric Yabush was twentieth. Four players made the all-star team this year. These were Eric Yabush, Geoff DeStafano, Rob Thomson, and Kevin Grant. The players are very optimistic about next year's season, since this year the problems with injuries and the learning of a new system made the road to success a little bumpy. There are a lot of returning juniors, and we should do pretty well next year, said Geoff DeStefano. Thus, although it did face a few problems this year, the hockey team improved a great deal over last year's. With their new coach, new system, and perhaps better knees, we should have a First-Class hockey team next season. Hockey

Catch as Catch Can by jenny Wright I I restling is a tougher sport than most others, because it requires more dedication and self-discipline. It will help these kids a lot later in life, said Varsity Wrestling Coach Elias George. The sport of wrestling, which is even mentioned in Homer's Odyssey, is one of the most ancient sports that has survived until today, and it is surprising that so little is known about the wrestling teams in our school. Coach George, however, feels the sport is gaining more recognition, and that the teams have been improving every year. Varsity team member Michael Sudduth agreed. Last year it was only a few individuals who would do well, and the rest of the team wouldn't. This year we had a much more solid team. There were good lightweights up through the heavier weights. Coach George called this year's team members dedicated and hard working, and the team's records certainly prove this. The Varsity wrestling team had a ten and four season and placed second in the State Districts and fourth in the State Sectionals. Tom Andrews and Michael Sudduth competed in the State Wrestling Meet, and Tom Andrews went on to win itl Special mention should be made of the freshmen team, which had a particularly outstanding season with a record of nine and one. According to Coach George, the team knew what their goal was, planned for it, and achieved it. Michael Sudduth also pointed out that the team worked better because there was a minimum of competition between members, which could slow down the progress of any team, and which can especially be a problem in wrestling, where the athletes are not called upon to work physically as a team while competing with other schools. A good team is expected for next year, since many members will be moving from the junior varsity and freshman levels to the varsity level. Thus, the wrestling team has done a First-Class job this year, and is likely to bring even more schools down to the ground next yearl Wrestling 125
