.bu I THX? MXKESME new cheer after an tai' F, Ai ' LONG, HARD RIDE - junior Jon Boyd works on his Bristow opponent, putting the squeeze on him to turn him over to add six points to the Sandite total. lt was a good season, commented wrestling coach Alan Karstetter. We did pretty well considering we had injuries with starters. The Sandite grapplers once again proved their pride as they tallied eight wins, three losses and one tie and wrestled extremely well in all tournament competition, winning at Bristow and Jenks and placing second at Stillwater. Although no one was undefeated, seniors Craig Sanders and Paul Phillips lost only one match each and all of our wrestlers have done well whether they were defeated or not, Karstetter added. Seniors comprised one-half of the starting squad with Sanders, Phillips, Dean Mayor, Eric Miller, John Benge, Don Russo, Walter Nelson and Steve Shock leading the aspiring troop. Nine underclassmen returned as starters, including Bruce Bridges, Todd Boone, Ty Boone, Richard Larue, Todd Sanders, jay Yaws, John Boyd, Mike Johnson and Gene Hartman. Heavyweight Walter Nelson was put out with a knee injury and junior Todd Boone had to miss all of the season due to a football injury. Each of these dedicated athletes was involved in a regular training program from October to February as well as spending much of their own time developing the skills needed to be successful in the tough season. Practices were usually six days a week, from one to two hours a day during the regularly scheduled season. It's very important that we practice often for the wrestlers to make their weight, Karstetter explained.
