Wrestling Challenges The Best of the Guys What is that strange looking sport consisting of two guys rolling around on the floor, trying to keep their op- posing player from moving around? Well, that so called strange looking sport is known as Wrestling. One freshman wrestler commented, At a meet you have to block out everything around you, like the people in the stands supporting the team and cheering you on. Even the wrestlerettes can distract your concentration with their pounding on the floor, etc...if you don't concentrate you might just mess up bad enough to get yourself pinned. The wrestlers techniques came from the good coaching, and practicing moves over and over again. Next to having to work hard, ambi- tion to do well, concentration, and technique, was a little sweating. To know that they had put forth all they could, the wrestlers had to show it. Charlie Hughes and Mark Galindo were the JV coaches, and Richard Monka was the freshman coach. All three coaches thought the two teams did quite well this season. One JV wrestler said, You have to have ambi- tion in this sport, or you're not going to get anywhere. 111 A former Titan wrestler, Coach Richard Monka watches his Frosh grapplers. 1Photo by S.
