Wrestling spotligh ts coa chin Eighteen years of wrestling and coaching put Wrestling Coach Glenn McMinn in the ASU Hall of Fame and All American for three years. To be fair to everyone, work everyone hard, but not too hard, and to make goals and try to reach those goals are Coach McMinn's methods for coach- ing. Some ofthe most commonly used holds are double leg take dawn, fireman cradle, hip lock, and half nel- son. lip lock and full nelsons are some holds that are illegal. There are no special requirements for wrestling. lf the wrestler wants to make his own it is perfectly all right to him. The only thing Coach McMinn wants players to do is make practices, follow all the rules, and do what they are told to do. There are no regular JV wrestlers, said Coach McMinn. JV wrestlers change from week to week. One guy can be on Varsity one week and an JV the next week, states Coach McMinn. Visiting George, a saguaro cactus, is one of the ways the wrestlers keep in shape. They run JA of a mile to 'George' and QA ofa mile back to school. Coach McMinn has overweight wrestlers put on a sweat suit and run or crawl under the wrestling mat to take off the excess weight. The underweight wrestlers are lucky and get to eat. Sometimes the wrestlers look better at home games, says the coach, but he thinks it's only because familiar people come to home matches and they try to look better.

Ma tmaids pin up wrestling squads To be a good matmaid, you should be able to maintain your self-confidence, which simply means that a matmaid must believe in her abilities. The main iobs for a matmaid are sup- porting their team, and knowing when and when not to cheer. All matmaids should work together as a team. Matmaids cheer and score, and if there is a snack bar, they might help run it. Becoming a matmaid is explained at try- outs at the end of the year. They are iudged on: al overall appearance, bl voice proiection and clarity, cl posture, dl origi- nality of cheers, and el sharp movements. The matmaid sponsor is Mrs. Debbie Shields, home economics teacher. The matmaid officers are: Robin Ritter, presi- dent, Lisa Faught, secretary, and Kathi Smith, secretary. There are ll matmaids including: Belinda Bonillas, Lisa Faught, Kathy Nolan, Robin Ritter, Cindy Seeman, Jodi Seeman, Kathi Smith, Linda Smith, Tami Smith, Rae Tanner, and Kelly Wilde. Mrs. Shields became a sponsor because she enioys working with the girls, and she is learning more about wrestling. The girls are doing an excellent iob, and they get things done, said Mrs. Shields.
