Wrestling roves to he Major Sport When asked about team potential during a mid-season practice head coach Larry DaPrato replied, We have a great deal of natur- al talent, which has contributed greatly to the fact that we are un- defeated, but we still have four league matches to go. But the greatest contribution to the teams winning streak is conditioning, we run them until we know they won't tire out in a match. Coach DaPrato refused to mention any particular wrestlers as a superior over any other, but he mentioned that those that were instrumental in the Mustangs success were Mike Loomis, Larry Ritter, Dave Shapiro, Andy Knoch, Tom Mullally, Theron Lowery, Martin Hintz, Bill Cooper, Rick Morris, Larry Battenburg, Steve Brown, Mike Degar, and Craig Munday, Top row: Coach Mike Woodside, Head Coach Lawrence DaPrato. 2nd row: D, Lindsey, B.
