ome ard Bound for DB restler The Hacienda League Wrestlin Cham- pionship banner hung on the waIl of the school with dignit and pride, glorifying all the courage and dletermination the 1985-B6 wrestling squad exhibited in their con uest to supremacy. But wait a minute those three two-inch tall giggling mid ets walkin around the campus couldn't be Sie Diamond Bar students? Of course not. It wasnit even DBHS. Enter the cam us of Castle Rock Elementary School, thelliome of the Brahma wrestlers. The first year of school, Diamond Bar wrestlers attended practice from seven to nine at night in the gym, sta ed home with sore bodies to try to cram a sinner, shower, French, chemistry, trigonometry, take out the garbage, brush the teeth, and sleep, before school started the next morning at 7:30 a.m.i The first month of the second year in DBHS's existence saw a change for the wrestlers. They woke up with bloodshot eyes to practice at 5:30 a.m. After the practice, they would walk the campus with zombie- like hair and a peculiar stench surrounding their presence. But into the second month . .. a stroke of luck. The principal of Castle Rock was kind Varsity Wrestling DBHS DBHS DBHS 12 17 Nogales Rowland Charter Oak jf +- fiw' , 71 XF enough to let us use their multilpurpose room for wrestling practices, sai coach lack Cooprider. An so the legend of the Off Campus Wrestlers began. According to Cooprider, there were both advantages and disadvantages to this 'ar- rangement. We were able to set a specific practice time, said Cooprider, but the multi-purpose room was too small. Its size People don't understand 1 how much hard work the wrestlers put into this season, believe me, it was hard work, said Mangesh Soman. 42 36 3 62 DBHS 26 45 Wilson DBHS 27 39 Los Altos 28 35 FIGHTING FOR TOP - Senior Ioshua ' Haynie struggles to maintain in control and go for the pin at a Rowland High tournament. Haynie managed to stay involved in both wrestling and yell leading. ALMOST A PIN - Leon Monson, junior, glets points for a near fall and goes for a pin. W en Monson was not wrestling, he played in the school band. 100 SportsfVorsity Wrestling caused more injuries because of kids hitting the walls and such. Why was there a Cham ionship banner at Castle Rock? It startedp as a joke, said Cooprider, Coach Roubian and I wanted to sew onto the banner going into the gym 'Cas- tle Rock University.' So instead, two banners were made, one for the gym and one for Cas- tle Rock. When will the wrestlers have a place to truly call home? Nobody knows. So if you happen to catch a glimpse of a guy trudging along the dust streets of Diamond Bar with a air of wrestlling shoes in one hand and headgear in the other, try to guess where he is headed -towards a little school with a lit- tle room that he calls home. Led by two captains and key performers, Ronnie Iordan and Terrence Hall lwho started league with 25-5 and 24-6 res ective- lyl the Brahmas went up against the hard wrestlers from the Sierra League. The first two lea ue matches against Wilson and Rowlanfwere lost. Wilson won by a 42- 26 victory and Rowland a 62-3 victory. Original story by Larson Hahm of the Bull's Eye. kj, sri
