Varsity team works hard Wrestling is a hard working, trying sport. 'Nw Everyone who contributes to this sport must work hard and give their all. On a day to day basis, the Varsity Wrestling team averaged a two and a half hour practice. We had many talented wrestlers, including Bob Gray and Bill Miller. Both are college prospects according to coach Lance Prickett. The coaches believe this year will be a good year. We had a sound team with talent in every weight class. Although the majority of the team was made up of seniors, the coaches didn't believe this would hurt them next year. The experience and winning spirit of our Varsity Wrestling will never end.

V Frosh-on 'ff their way up The toughest one-on-one sport Sahuaro offers is wrestling. It is a uniquely demanding sport involving both mental and physical strength. Coaches Pierson and Prickett start their team training early in the second quarter. A conditioning program involving various stretching exercises along with a general build-up of stamina is begun and maintained throughout the whole season. Soon after the practices start, the team is instructed on technique. As the first meet approaches, challenge matches begin. These determine who will wrestle under the corresponding weights-all matches being 6 minutes long. 4 Sahuaro's toughest opponent has traditionally been Sunnyside whom they wrestled on January 2.3. Also, this year the District 1 Christmas Tournament was held at Sahuaro.
