J.V., frosh reach for high hoops Junior varsity and freshman basketball took to the courts under the direction of Coach Brian Johnson and Coach Joe Acker. Best group of young men I've worked with yet and l'm proud of them , said J.V. coach Johnson, who was pleased with the improvement of the team. Coach Johnson believed that if they continued to work together as a team, they could possibly contend for next year's conference title. Coach Acker, who hadnlt worked with a freshmen team for almost 20 years, had an almost perfect season. He laid down a foundation on which the freshmen could build their fundamental skills and listening habits. This, he said, would help in future years not only in basketball, but academics.

Wrestlers end in Top Half of State Tourney The Marana varsity wrestling team had a good season this year despite various injuries to the players. The team participated in many different wrestling invitationals this year, beyond their regu- lar season matches. The Tigers did make it to state this season and Junior Manual Corral took second place in his individual weight class. The team overall earned the place of fourteenth out of thirty qualifying teams. The success of their season can be attributed to the more experienced team members helping and teaching the younger players, and also the dedica- tion and improvement put in by all the team mem- bers.
