.la-me --me Gra lers Post 9-2 Season Wrestling pp As Palm Takes State Again Coach Don Hedgepeth predicted only an average season but his team came through with a great effort. Seven seniors led an otherwise young, inexperienced team to a 7-2 season and a third in dis- trict. The district race wasn't decided un- til the final two matches when the team showed its lack of depth. John Chamberlain, captain of the mat- men, led his team by placing first in dis- trict, but failed to place at state due to injury. Boy Palm, one of the best prep wrestlers in the nation, was the team's best performer. For the second straight year he finished undefeated and won the 54 state championship. Palm took a summer trip to Africa and pinned every African champ they could throw at him. He pinned 12 of 13 of his opponents and decisioned the 13th. The second varsity under l-larold Weight only compiled a 3-6-l record, but that did not tell the whole story. They were plagued by having competitors switching up to varsity in tough meets. Frank Hol- comb, Paul Bishop, and Martin Brown were the strong points of the team. l-lol- comb and Bishop were both switched from second varsity to first varsity regu- larly during the season.
