Looking Back When asked what he liked most about his season this year, Jim Jackman said, Being League champs in the Empire League for my first time. Being a sophomore, Jim will have two more years to excell and reach his own personal best in the sport if he chooses to continue. T This year. Steve Lawson, a junior ort the varsity team, went to the State Championships in Stockton California. Steve successfully finished 3rd in the state and says, It was a great experience that I won ' t ever forget. And when asked about his ex- pectations for next year. Steve thinks that, the team and myself have the potential to win state championships next year. With that positive atti- tude, they will go far. Duel matches were a favorite for senior Chuck Cauwel. It was real exciting knowing that everyone was watching. Everyone on our team would get real- ly up for the matches. With this show of support. Chuck won many matches and had a lot of fun. Getting along with the other members on the team is very important for everyone. They can offer their support as well as being great friends. Senior Brian Ueno commented that he got along with the others and at least they stopped beating me up. Another match is won by Steve Lawson as the refer- ee raises his arm in victory.
