Wrestlers Can Only Improve The major handicap of the Mapleton wrestlers this year was a lack of personnel A 3 6 wm loss record may not look great but under the circumstances It was better than expected. In two meets all the Sailor wrestlers won, but they lost the match because fo forfeits. Wrestlers, Rick Wolgamatt, Mike Jacque, and Ben Tekander won a majority of their matches with Rick winning the Bandon and Waldport Tournaments and Nlrke, the Mapleton and Waldport Tourna- Frank Labar, Thane Beers, and Mike Harry ended up in hard classes with all managing comebacks at the McKenzie match with unex- Stan Upton drew the toughest class of all at 191 hitting the top wrestlers right at first, but still beat enough wrestlers to claim fourth at district. Rick Wolgamott, voted most valu- able wrestler, had the best season with only two losses. Rick took second place at district, lossing to his long time rival- Dale Rekow, going on to state to meet some experienced wrestlers. Coach Shelquist said, The team was fairly young, but we can only improve.
