26 Girls7 Volleyball Has Difficulties Due to Little Practice A win and loss record can never show the effort exerted by a team in any sport. This year’s varsity and reserve vol- leyball teams were no excep- tion. Both teams had many close matches with their opponents, but their records will stand of- ficially at 2-10 and 4-8, respec- tively. Two seniors, four juniors, two sophomores and one freshman comprised the varsity team dur- ing the year. In addition to the regularly scheduled games, they competed in the Crawford Invitational Volleyball Tourna- ment, placing fifth, and the Pan- handle C Volleyball Tourna- ment, placing fourth.

Wrestling in Its First Year Sends Four to State Meet Above: Rick Wacker fights to break the strong hold of a Harrison wrestler. Hemingford won this dual meet 28-24. Wrestling, a sport that has never gained much recognition in the past at Hemingford High School, came into the spotlight this year during its relatively short season. Tim Morava and Monte Case, both graduates of Crawford High School, coached the team; Mr. Glen Kotschwar served as their sponsor. Numbering slightly over a dozen, the boys began practice two weeks late in the season. Un- experienced, but with a will to win and the de- termination needed in any sport, the wrestlers went on to capture the only winning record in a varsity sport during the 1969-70 school year. Tim Brost, Duane Davies, John Garcia and Jim Burri, all in their first year in the sport, quali- fied to attend the State High School Wrestling Tournament in Lincoln. Burri, a junior competing in the heavyweight class, brought home the school's first wrestling medal with a fourth place rating at the tournament. Overall, Hemingford placed 22nd of 40 schools participating in class C action. HHS WRESTLING RECORD 3-2 WE THEY 24 Hay Springs 38 24 Harrison 28 35 Hyannis 18 28 Harrison 24 43 Hay Springs 13
