HARd WoRk PAys OFF It was a long and struggling season, but the team emerged from the com- petition, finishing with a 6-6-1 re- cord. After working their hands to the bone by hours of practice a day, the Junior Varsity Vol- leyball team made a fantastic showing. The squad was plagued by low interest and this resulted in only three sophomores on the team. One of these, Alicia Oxford, was lost when she advanced to the varsity level to re- place Kim Van Horn, an injured starter. The team ' s other sophomores were Debbie Pike and Janelle Salmon. I thought we worked hard, everybody did. -Kim Van Horn, Junior The J.V. team was led by Coach Nancy Majors. Majors came from Chaparral Interme- diate School at the beginning of the year to teach P.E. and volleyball. Mrs. Majors, known as a difficult coach worked her team hard to finish with a even record. I thought we worked hard, everybody did, commented Kari Bender, freshman, Everybody tried really hard. I also think we ' ll do really good next year, we have a lot of people returning who have played together so we have experience.

PJNNiNq To Success A a they sat listening to Coach Coppes, the Diamond Bar High wrestlers got ready for their first meet. Sporting a team of 1 3 varsity and junior varsity members, the Brahma wrestling team was ready to fight. Charging out to the mats, the team had only one thing on their minds, pin, pin! During a meet against Upland, the varsity team got taken by a move called the cradle. Although the team was still raw around the edges, they pushed themselves at practices. They are inexperienced but worlcing hard, commented Coach Jack Coppes. It was true that even though the teams were made up of freshmen, sophomores, and ju- niors and they did not have the advantage of Wrestling is good exper- ience for all guys. It really helps in concentration. -Paul Reutzel, junior seniors, they were still doing well. I think the teams did better than everyone expected. I am proud to be a wrestler at Diamond Bar High, commented sophomore Dan Fluke. And they proved this by taking a win over their rivals, Ganesha, with a score of 72 to and 60 to 1 8. The DBMS wrestlers came home from a tour- nament with two first place ribbons by Gave Martinez and Paul Reutzel and other assorted ribbons. Because of the team being so young, they were gauged more towards the lower weight divisions. The main strategy of the team was to build up a lead with their most experienced players first. Since we only had five experienced players, we tried to build up points and hope that our opponents wouldn ' t catch up to us, commented varsity wrestler Derek Jeffus. But with everyone returning, we ' ll be really great next year. 7 VARSITY WRESTLING 5 wins 4 losses Diamond Bar 15 Upland 56 Diamond Bar 28 San Dimas 39 Diamond Bar 29 Claremont 47 Diamond Bar 40 Azusa 34 Diamond Bar 60 Ganesha 18 Diamond Bar 18 Webb 3 Diamond Bar 57 Chino 50 Diamond Bar 15 Montclair 57 Diamond Bar 42 Garey 36 Diamond Bar Bonita A JUNIOR VARSITY WRESTLING.
