GIRLS BASKETBALL 24 As each year’s seniors graduate, the next year's team is challenged to rebuild and mold together as one unit. With varying levels of experience from the players, the development of team leadership, confidence, trust, poise, enthusiasm and desire is an important growth of every team. Helping to provide this growth were six seniors: Pam Jantzi. Tam Jantzi. Brenda Kerzman. Linda Nelson. Louise Nelson, and Nancy Swanson. Underclassmen who also helped the team's growth and who also lettered were: Melissa Christensen. Kellie Stienike, Darra Hadenfeldt. Kathy Kuszak. Deb Plejdrup. and Leann Veeder. Finishing the season with a varsity record of 3-12 and a Reserve record of 2-7. both squads worked on improving their mental game as well as their physical game. The highlight of the Varsity season came when we upset Burwell in the semi-finals of the conference. Louise Nelson was named to the all conference team and Darra Hadenfeldt earned the honor of honorable mention. Louise led the team in scoring and in rebounding by getting fifteen points and rebounds r steals with 43, third in points with 8, and first in free throws with 25 in points. Kellie Stienike was second in scoring with 7 and second in rebounds with 8. Nancy Swanson was third in rebounds with 7 a game.

WRESTLING Wrestling started on a high note with 18 hopefuls out for practice, and all but one weight class filled. People quitting and not dropping weight soon cut the squad to 15 with only 10 of the 2 weight classes filled. Injuries and illnesses took a toll also, and seemed to take the heart out of the season. The following wrestlers represented Centura during 1979-80: Bob Bourke, So. Deryl Roth, Sr. Chris Stahl, Fr. Matt Grabowski. So. Todd Nelson, Jr. Dan Brockmann, Sr. Jerry Wicht, Jr. Jeff Carpenter. Sr. Tom Hulme, So. Jim Waskowiak, So. Doug Sieburg. Jr. Dennis Voss. Jr. Bill Stahl. Sr. John Bellamy, Fr. Bob Bourke led the team in take downs with I7-, Chris Stahl had 15 and Dennis Voss had 14. Pins were led by Chris Stahl with II; Dan Brockmann had 10 and Dennis Voss had 7. No one on the team made it to State and only Jim Waskowiak and Dan Brockmann placed at Districts. The 1980-81 season looks better with several good eighth graders moving up to senior high level. The added year s experience to the varsity squad should help, also. 36
