Coach Phil Hubbard faced a difficult problem in his first year JV basketball coaching job at Marysville High School this season, two of his top players were moved up to the varsity squad, thus denying the JV's of rebounding and scoring punch. One bright spot for the season was the determination of JV members who never gave up and continued to work hard in practice and during games. Trying to overcome these handicaps. Coach Hubbard held basketball practices in the mornings before school, after school, and during holiday vacations. Developing basic basketball techniques such as dribbling, passing, and rebounding consummed most of the time spent in practice. Top scorers for the JV basketball team were Tom Hoover, Vernell Harris, and Roger Shadd. Victories this season were over Red Bluff, Oakmont, and Lindhurst. Many of the JV games were hard-fought battles and the scores were close until the closing minutes of the game. .W , .. 3 G lug-4.1 l.

Although this year's wrestling team was plagued with many iniuries, the team still came out with a fifth place in the league standings and a third in sub-sections, which is an improvement over the past years. Coach Bruce Cameron attributed the team's improvement to all the wrestlers' best efforts and to the fact that they had a large team with few wrestlers dropping out. Three new mats worth seven thousand dollars, Probably helped wrestling to have a large team this year, reported Coach Cameron. This year's standout, Vint Wurm, had his best year ever, with first place wins in the Yuba City Invitational, Orland and Quincy tournaments, ancl in SFL finals. Wurm, however, failed to place high enough in sections to go onto state finals, but had an outstanding overall record of 28-6 Two sophomore standouts who helped anchor the team were Lawrence Bettencourt, who finished first at the Yuba City Invitational and had a 22-6 overall record, and Loring Turell, who also captured a first at Yuba City, finishing with a 20-12 overall record. Despite the team's l-6 SFL record, several matches could have gone either way and the team, which sent six men to sub-sections, was competitive all year. The six wrestlers were Vint Wurm, Loring Turell, Lawrence Bettencourt, Dean Wooten, Tom Polk and Martin Sommervold. JV's, however, had a very trying year, with a winless season. Coach Cameron expects to have more experienced wrestlers next year due to knowledge gained this season. Even though they did not do well as a team, there were some individuals who did outstanding, Todd Wooten, Mike Jurna and Mike Messick all did well according to Coach Cameron. FRONT ROW: W. Kerr, M.
