A proper attitude is essential for a successful wrestling team. The posses- sion of this attitude enabled the War- rior matmen to record a 12-4 overall dual meet record, and a third place finish in the Peninsula District. The Warrior grapplers placed ninth in the Regional Tournament after finishing third in the District Tournament. The 1981-82 wrestling team had many individual accomplishments to go along with their success as a team. Seniors Robert Hill and Maynard Brown were district champions while Danny O'Donnell, Mike McCormick, and Rusty Melton fin- ished as runners-up. Individuals who placed in the Regionals were: Danny O'Donnell, a third place finisher, Mike McCormick, a fourth place fin- isher, and fifth place finishers George Mizusawa and Maynard Brown. 0'Donnell, who placed fifth, was the only Warrior to place in the State Tournament. Special honors were awarded as follows: Danny O'Donnell as MVP, Robert Hill the Matman award for his 31 dual meet takedown record, Rusty Melton for the fastest pin ffastest in KHS historyl, Maynard Brown for most pins with 15, and George Mizusawa for a Perfect Dual Meet season. The team of veteran seniors and ac- complished newcomers led by captain Rusty Melton worked hard to acquire their success. Head Wrestling Coach Bill Cawley credited much of the team's success as well as individual achievements to the correct attitudes possessed by the Warrior matmen.
