fwe Slammin’ JV GBB Being able to count on the bench was the highlight of my coaching season and the reason that the season was a success. -Robin Boiler. Coach With the coaching skills of Robin Boiler, the JV girls’ basketball team hustled their way through a rocky season. The team consisted of six fresh- man, two sophomores, and two ju- niors who gained experience through equal playing time which they hope will help them gain varsi- ty positions next year. Practice sessions for the team in- cluded a substantial amount of time playing either with or against the varsity squad. Several of the JV players contributed to the varsity campaign. The players on the bench proved just how important subs can be with the enthusiasm they pro- vided and the reassurance that they were always ready if they were needed. Even though their season was not as successful as they had hoped, the girls did learn cooperation, team- work. and leadership skills.

Takedown WRESTLING The 1987-88 wrestling season was declared a stepping stone by the wrestlers for the future of the Highmore wrestling team. If this was just the stepping stone, these young wrestlers’ future has the potential to be a larger piece of granite than Mt. Rushmore.” -Mitch Leier, Head Coach The Highmore wrestling squad was led by head coach Mitch Leier and assistant coach Tom McGol- drick. The young team was com- posed of five returning lettermen: junior Treg Cowan, sophomore James Kindopp. freshman Cliff Becker, and eighth graders Kenny Hoffman and Ryan Rittel. Rounding off the squad were eighth grader Justin Kindopp and seventh grader John Hoffman. Student managers and statisticians for the grapplers were Leanne Hoffman. Kim Knox. Leslie Meek. Roxanne Buchholz. and Carrie Stirling. Cheering for the team were Pam Smith. Andrea Knox. Katina Kusser. and Heidi Ger- rits. Although the squad was com- posed of young wrestlers, many in- dividual career and single season school records were broken by sophomore James Kindopp and freshman Cliff Becker. Cliff Becker broke both career and single season take-down records. James Kindopp broke the career reversal record, both career and single season pin and technical foul record, career nearfall record, and the career win record. Advancing to Regionals were Treg Cowan and Kenny Hoffman. Treg Cowan went on to compete in the State Wrestling Tournament at Watertown. ✓ WRESTLING 75
