CHS Matmen Ending the wrestling season with a 1 last place finish and a 1-11 record, Coach lack Segurson looks to the tu- ture. I feel our boys did as Well as can be expected under the circum- stances and they gained a lot of needed experience, he commented. Lack ot experience was cited by the coach as the major reason tor the bad season and poor showing in the city and state tournaments. Catalina Won the first meet by de- feating Amphi 27-13, but then the grap- plers proceeded to drop their next eleven contests although some of the battles were decided by one point. Se- gurson, who remained optimistic throughout the year, feels he will have a better team next Winter because the boys are young and should develop into fine wrestlers by next season. They did manage to place four men in the city finals: Iohn Moss, Steve Thompson, Dean Stock and Richard Starkey. However, only Stock placed in state.

The coach often teaches the boys new holds to im- prove the squad's skills by showing them himself. By getting a near pin on his helpless Tucson High foe, grappler Danny Iorqensen, wrestling at 154 lbs., went on to win the match 5-3. How- ever, Iorgenson's efforts were useless as Cata- lina lost the match 24-22 in the THS gym. 1 I Varsity wrestling coach Iack Segurson yells ad- vice to his team as asistant coach Everett Nichol- son looks on. The CHS Matmaids, led by Annette Cline, add their vocal support as well as scoring and assisting Coach Segurson.
