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.

Girl's spring sports started off as a huge success, with more than 40 girls turning out for softball tryouts. Prospective pitchers, catchers, infielders, and outtielders did their best to impress the coaches during the three day tryouts held in cold and windy weather. Due to the large number of girls wanting to participate in softball, a JV team was formed. Coach Lynn Marsh kept I3 members on the varsity roster, with nine returning players. Several outstanding returnees were seniors Lori Arostegui, Vicki Hill, Shari Smith, and junior Lori Binninger. Pre- league play started off with a victory over Pleasant Valley and was followed by a close win over visiting Las Plumas. Wtih a strong and talented team, the varsity squad worked on improving 1976's 9-7 overall record and 4-4 Sierra Foothill League record. A new face was seen at the JV softball coaching position in University of Indiana graduate Ms. Kitty Upthank. Sixteen young and inexperienced softball players practiced fundamentals and game strategy while Coach Upthank kept the girls in shape by having running drills. ln the first game of the season,the JV squad scored a close and exciting l5-'I4 win over Pleasant Valley. As a first year team, Coach Upthank and the JV team worked on setting a winning pace for future JV teams. rw FRONT ROW: L. Mizogami, C. DeAIba, L. Kadoi, D. Ishimoto, P. FRONT ROW: G. Reggi, S.
