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.

i Bright lights and all the eyes of the large crowd in the Student Center were focused on the Marysville High School freshman basketball team as they . prepared to meet the Lindhurst Blazers with the SFL championship on the line in the last game of the season. This game capped a tremendous comeback by the freshman tea, which at one time was O-2 in league play and lost half of its first six league games. A chance for the SFL crown looked bleak midway through the season, but Coach Mike Roof and his freshman team jalllaa and began to roll over their opponents. Leading the team in scoring were Lonnie Feemster, Glen Horsely, Mike Wyman and Steve Centerwall.
