Morningside's JV wrestling team had a very respectable season this year. The Monarchs, wrest- ling in the shadow of an outstanding varsity, compiled a won seven, lost three record in dual meet competition. The grapplers defeated such teams as their cross-town rivals, Hawthorne, and Inglewood. They also beat Torrance, Culver City, North Torrance, Beverly Hills and Lennox. MHS losses came at the hand of Mira Costa, Whittier, and California. The matmet lost to Califor- nia by a heartbreaking one point. Morningside is blessed with an abundant supply of wrestlers. During the season the Monarchs had twice as many athletes out for wrestling than did many teams which the grapplers encountered. The JV team this year was mainly for experi- ence, stated Jay Raelen, wrestling coach. Next year, our team should have the experience to continue with the Monarchs winning custom, he stated. Some of Morningside's top JV wrestlers were Bob Barrow, Mike Eaton, Jerry DelConte, lrv Breighthaupt, Jim Miller, Ernie Stockard, Jerry Mathews, Larry Kelly, Mike Marlett, Hal Erickson, and Mike Cadenhead.
