METRO CHAMPS This past season has been a very successful and entertaining season for the Linden Hockey Team and the fans. The team won their 1st ever tournament to start the season. A sure sign of better things to come. They continued on to record their first Metro Champion- ship with a thrilhng 4-2 win over Lapeer West. In addition, the team advanc ed to the Regional finals. They were only one victory shy of a birth in the Class B State Finals. Our 1 9-6- 1 record was the best ever for a Linden Hockey Team, which 1 attribute to the harj work and dedication of each of the 19 play- ers, Coach Dave DiPietro.

Low Numbers Hurt Team Again The wrestling team had another long year trying to establish a competitive pro- gram. Their program got off to an extremely rough start not knowing if they had the numbers to to even form a team. Once they had the go ahead to get started, they still had trouble filling all the weight class- es which automatically took them out of several meets. Add to this, their lack of experience and you have a formula that adds up to a lot of long and sometimes embarrassing wresthng meets. With all this considered, the members of the team have to commended on their commitment to keep this program going. Ever since the pay-to-play sports of a cou- ple of years ago, this program has been literally hanging on by a thread and if it weren ' t for these determined young men, it would could have easily been dropped. Despite the slow start, the team came close to winning a couple of meets and their were several members who consis- tently posted victories. With most of this team coming back there should be a nice nucleus of kids to build on and get this program back on its feet. 86
