Upset wins propel Terrace to top ofConference Underrated in the pre-season, the Mount lake Terrace mat squad surprised many people by capturing the Western Conference Co-Championship, which was shared with Edmonds and Sehome. WesCo wrestling was extremely tough this season with Edmonds, Sehome, Terrace, Woodway, and Bellingham all being strong contenders for the title. Making up the backbone of this year's team were seniors Gordy Buslach, Jim McGinty, Ray Howland, and Earl Brock. These in- dividuals could always be counted on for a win. Outstanding juniors on the squad were Dave Francois and John Garen. Much im- proved from last year, Merlin Reeder, junior and Woody Sims, senior, contributed many important points toward Terrace victories. In their first year of high school wrestling, sophomores Matt Borland and Jim Cave- ness performed extremely well and should be outstanding in their next two years. Ardell Moe, junior, wrestled unlimited and was one of the real heavies in the conference. This squad did a fine job in continuing the winning tradition. Once again the groaners proved that Terrace was the team to beat in the Western Conference. Wrestling 55
