Jayvee Wins gem All Once again, the Junior Varsity Warriors have dominated the mats with a flawless record. En route to a sparkling record of eight wins and no defeats., the team placed fourth at the Helias quadrangular and clinched a second place berth at the Glendale quadrangular. Junior Dan Longley perhaps wrapped it up best when he said, MI really like the competition., workouts, and getting in shape for wrestling. It's a good sport to be in! Freshmen wrestling also did well with a solid record of three wins and only one loss. A third place finish at the Aurora Tournament also provided the Braves with a little more life. Parkview, Lebanon, and Hillcrest all fell victim to the team, while the only loss was to a tough Glen- dale squad. Freshman Clifton Cox, who also performed on the varsity level, said, G'Wrestl- ing was the best sport I went out for. I enjoyed it the most, and I'm not sorry I went out for it. But Clifton wasn't the only freshman to par- ticipate on the varsity level. Neil Duncan and Phil Aldrich also wrestled with the ubig time. Since most of the freshmen and sophomores are expected to return next year, Coach Ledl, who leads the wrestlers along with Coach Sanders, says, Kickapoo is in store for many years of fine wrestling excitement. And, from the looks of things, he may very well be correct. 1 ., 4 ,, .4-1. ,TM lx in s Q NX, 4 ...ggi I-I-Z ,Iauee Freshman Wrestling A Q , .
