Mighty Matmen of North Bay League Champs This year ' s Junior Varsity wrestling team was a young squad composed of one junior, twelve sophomores, and four freshmen. They began the year by capturing the 8 team Christmas Tournament at South High, and followed up with the championship of the Torrance 20 team Junior Varsity Tournament. Although the Varsity matmen often used members of the JV team to fill in for injured or sick wrestlers, the JV ' s still swept through the Bay League schedule undefeated to capture a co-championship title of the league. Among some of the most consistent performers this 1973 season were Joel Anderson. Mark Lowerison. Roy Morimoto. and Mitchell Taguchi. All these Saxons won at least one tournament championship. Rodriguez practiced for the big tournament. J V. Wrestling: ROW 1: John Sesto. Dave Rodriguez, Mitchell Taguchi, Tom Kobayashi, Gary Maldinado, Bernie Schafer. ROW 2: Mark Loweri- son, Greg Ritchie.
