Wrestling Young, Talented The 1979 Wrestling season began with several new' faces on the team, including a new assistant coach. Mr. Steve Calhoun. Mr. Terry Nimz returned for his fourth year as head coach for the VMS grapplers. Three newcomers joined the Vernonia squad, they were David and Bob Wood from Colorado, and Chris Holmes from New York. Add these three to the other eight first year wrestlers and the result is a very young team. The year held many highlights for the young squad, as Vernonia defeated the defending district champions, Corbett. by a score of 39-27 in a thrilling dual match at home. Another highlight for the team was the fact that they only lost one of their five home dual meets and one of their three away dual meets, for an overall dual meet record of six wins and two losses. The Vernonians traveled to four tournaments, bringing home three seconds and one disappointing last. Lack of experience caught up with the young team at the District Tournament with them taking no more than one first and four thirds. Wahtonka moved down from AA to take the Championship spot away from Corbett. Vcrnonia's State participant was Greg Parker in the 130 lb. weight class. Greg brought home a fifth place from the tournament in Springfield. Greg was also the team captain and one of six seniors to wrestle for Vernonia. The six seniors who lead the team through their exciting season included Mike Hiveley, Drew Tracy, Gregg Schaumberg, Jeff Me Master, Dennis Weller, and Greg Parker. 2 I.
