Pair Of Wrestlers Take State Looking forward to dominance in the Utah high school wrestling world, the season has been a step- ping stone for the future of the sport at Alta. The list of victories has been ex- tensive. especially the satisfying vic- tory over Bingham in the Battle of the Hammer to keep the six year tradition alive and well. The Hawks stayed strong and healthy for the region tournament, where the wrestlers placed a re- spectable second place behind the eventual state champion Brighton. Going into state, heavyweight Ke- vin Bouwman was picked to win by a large margin. He risked an unde- feated 34-0 record in the finals to win a close descision 3-0. ‘‘Pound for Pound, there’s nobody in the state he can’t beat,” commented Coach Lunak. Alan Kerbs captured the state championship in the 119 pound divi- sion with his excellent 36-1 record. Also at the state tournament, oth- er fine performances were dis- played. Jason Deollos placed fourth in the 138 pound division, while Mark Thomas and Dave Hall placed sixth in the 112 pound and 167 pound divisions respectively. Overall the Hawks took sixth place with 88 points, very close behind 3rd. The Hawk Wrestlers have shown consistency, finishing in the top six places in the state tournament in the past several years.
