J Wrestlers work on Technique-Building This wrestling season, there was not a freshman team. Instead the freshmen played for the junior varsity team. These wrestlers learned to put ability into their various wrestling moves. Sophomore wrestler Todd Parish explained, This season was a learning session. We learned to put everything into the right moves. Todd and many other wres- tlers felt that the Douglas Bulldogs were their toughest competition, to which Marana took the loss, but learned a lot from it.

Varsity Softball captured the Divisional Title and were the only team in Division one or two to be undefeated in regular season play. Their all around record is 19 - 4. ln pre-season the girls lost 9 - 1 and didn't think the season was going to be a good one, but went to the Thanksgiving tournament and were 2-2, beating CDO in the opener. In seasonal play the Tigers opened with a 10-0 win against Flowing Wells. It was all easy sailing from there on in. In the middle of the season the team beat Rincon for first place, 10-3. This gave the Tigers the confidence necessary to beat the rest of their competition. By the end of the season the team was 16-O in conference play. They entered the Divisional Tournament and came away with the championship trophy. They lost in the opening round of State to Tolleson. This is Coach Sloans last year at MHS. She has done so much for the girls' team with her support, spirit, and most of all her coaching. Her record in four years of coaching at MHS she has 57 wins and 24 losses.
