wrestling OCCts wrestlers hnished sixth in the Eastern Conference derby this past season. The grapplers had a 2-4-2 record for the league. Overall they were 2-6-2. One of their biggest downfalls was not having a coach for the first five weeks of the season. Their coach, Fred Owens, was line coach for the football team and the J unior Rose Bowl Game took preference over the wrest- ling team. 2We were initially be- hind time because I had to spend the extra time with the football team. We had no pre-season training to speak of and three days after I joined the squad we had our first match, said Owens When commenting about the season. The wrestlers managed wins over Chaffey and arch-rival Santa Ana during league play. They also tied Riverside and Southwestern to account for their two wins and two ties. In pre-season play they were wal- loped by two powerhouses in the Metropolitan League - E1 Ca- mino and Cerritos. ttWe had good desire and the boys were really aggressive to- ward the end of the season? Coach Owens commented. 21 was especially pleased with the way they wrestled in the East- ern Conference Finals. But, our late start really hurt us and we finished sixth? Members of this years squad were Andy Smith, Gary Ives, Ralph Lee, Jim Lahondy, Bob Marriner, most valuable; Ed Maxwell, Darryl Paul, Eric Snow, Cuauhtemoc Sanchez and Greg Wojcik. Seven of the 10 wrestlers are scheduled to return next year to try and help the squad win the Eastern Conference Trophy. one-hundred seventeen
