Cubs show early power Marana's junior varsity wres- tling team started out by man- handling Sahuarita, 78-6. A three-game winning streak fol- lowed against San Manuel, 30- 24. Baboquivari, 75-6 and Sun- nyside, 38-27. Tough Flowing Wells and Coolidge brought the first losses to the Cubs. But they returned with conference victories against Safford, 46- 12, and Globe, 36-20. This sea- son the Cubs, under the coaching of Cliff Nystrom, have gained enough respect that next year they could be an ex- plosive team offering tough op- positions to other schools in the AA South conference. 1.
