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.

Should the pitching mature by mid-season, the club could be as good as any squad Sahuaro has had in recent years. Returning outfielders Skip Peete, Jim Olander and john Bitrick, plus shortstop Sam Khalifa and catcher Lew Kent, provided an excellent nucleous of defensive abilities and hitting potential. One main goal this year for the players was to return to the State finals. All photos by Roxanne Bake 64 SPORTS if . W . 5.54 I L, 'af' is Q... . f. , . N t H ke Sam Khalifa shows his better side.
