Young grapplers post satisfying season After a slow beginning and an incredible mid-season, the injury-plagued EPHS wrestling team fell apart at the end. Head Coach George Carlson, though dismayed by the team's end of the season performance, was still very high on the team. The season went by very quickly, which is indicative of having a good time; and that probably was what we were having, a good time, he said. He also noted that this had been the smoothest season ever, with very few hassles and high esprit de corps. Eight varsity wrestlers had winning records, headed by Scott Miller with an 18-5 record. Dan Sinner owned a 13-5 mark, and Shawn Sallee compiled a 14-7 tally. Concluding the wrestling season was the annual winter sports awards banquet. Outstanding Team Wrestler award was presented to Miller. Miller also garnered awards for most takedowns, reversals, and escapes. Scott Carlson took the award for fastest pin, while Shawn Sallee was tops with the most pins. Harry Schroeder was honored for maintaining the highest grade point average during the season. With only three seniors leaving due to graduation, next year’s team, with its combination of youth and experience, should be one of the top squads in the Welco.
