Winning By Pinning Helps AA Takedown The wrestling team finished the season with an impressive record of 8-3-2. The team placed third in districts and the outstanding co- captains, Steve Turner and Brian Bullard, placed fourth and third, respectively, in state. Coach Doug Moses, known af- fectionately as Coach Taz Cfor the Tasmanian Devil on Bugs Bun- ny J was energetic during his sec- ond year as head coach. Assistant coach Mr. Keith Bogue added his enthusiasm to the team through- out the season also. Their excellent coaching helped the team to place tenth in the Arvada West Tournament. Shortly afterwards, the team had a close call in a match against Pueblo Central, losing by only one point after Central forfeited their heavyweight match. The team was very close. Even though the junior varsity didn't have quite a full squad and had to forfeit some weights, they managed to win the majority of their season. The varsity did have a full squad after Dave Bauman joined at 98 pounds, helping the team to a winning record. While wrestling might have been hard for most students to understand, junior Tim Anderson explained why it was such a sat- isfying sport to participate in. Wrestling is just you against the other guy. No one can do it for you. but it's still a team effort. This page: David Bauman applies pres- sure to Dan Badgett before winning the match Ctop leftj.

Scott Mason took third place at state playing singles, and David Reuter and Tom Entwistle com- peted playing doubles. His strong performance throughout the sea- son enabled Scott to be voted Most Valuable while working hard all summer and fall earned David the position of Most lm- proved.
